This land has a place in my heart. <br />I've loved it here right from the start. <br />From the rivers and lakes <br />to the mounds of snowflakes, <br />this state and I never will part. <br /> <br />In the Summer the grass is so green. <br />Take a visit, you'll see what I mean. <br />It's so hot in the sun. <br />You will have so much fun <br />and you've never breathed air that's so clean. <br /> <br />After Summer we creep into Fall. <br />It's the prettiest season of all. <br />With the colors of trees <br />on display with such ease <br />you could frame it to hang on your wall. <br /> <br />Then comes Winter with mountains of snow. <br />You must dress warm wherever you go. <br />Wear your thickest of coats <br />while you sow your wild oats. <br />You will love it, just trust me, I know. <br /> <br />When the snow starts to melt into Spring <br />I'm amazed at the joy it can bring. <br />You'll see fresh tiny leaves <br />on the branches of trees <br />''I'm alive! '' you will just want to sing! <br /> <br />If you're looking for somewhere to go <br />that has sunshine as well as some snow, <br />it's a place I've adored <br />and you never get bored. <br />Michigan is the best place I know.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/michigan-is-the-place-for-me/
