Rolling hills of bluegrass at the break of day <br /> A mare and foal nibbling at hay <br /> Gallant steads being worked at dawn <br /> Frost still glistens in the morning sun <br /> <br /> The dreams of boys, the reality of men <br /> Mounted at the gate a blanket of roses to win <br /> Brightly colored silks caught by the breeze <br /> The greatest two minutes in sports quickly flees <br /> <br /> From a natural bridge to the Cumberland Falls <br /> To find a moonbow bent in beauty for all <br /> The mountains of Appalachia reach with all their worth <br /> While Mommoth Caves plunge into the bowels of the earth <br /> <br /> Mountain Laurel blooms in regal splendor <br /> While across the land buffalo thunder <br /> As the Falls of the Ohio trip wistfully along <br /> The sun still shines on our old Kentucky home<br /><br />Debi Fields<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kentucky-wonders/
