Michigan my home the state shaped like a mitten, <br />On the license plates great lakes is written, <br />Construction in the state all year long, <br />The term orange cones should be added to our song. <br />Michigan I dread in the winter to love though, <br />In those months the ground is coated with snow. <br />Christmas Lights displays on Hines drive, <br />View the lights but the mph is a whole five. <br />Frankenmuth Christmas time the decorations, <br />Different Christmas shops in all sorts of locations. <br /> <br />Michigan the UP is not a direction rather a location, <br />Over the Mackinac Bridge I swear it’s another nation, <br />The “Yoopers” consists of there very own population, <br />If you haven’t been there go it’s a different type of vacation. <br />Anyways back over the Mackinac Bridge enjoy some fudge, <br />Fudge isn’t Fudge unless its Mackinac fudge.. try it you be the judge! <br /> <br />Michigan my home Detroit not very pretty, <br />Know to the big three, oh how I miss the Motor city. <br />Pistons, Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings, <br />Oh the joy of my home teams bring. <br /> <br />Boats galore people fishing for trout, <br />Michigan Lakes is what it’s all about, <br />Summers on the lake jet ski fun, <br />Laying out on the beach soaking up the sun. <br />Late nights camp fires making smores, <br />Mosquito bites that you just can’t ignore. <br /> <br />Home will always be home even when I’m not there, <br />Michigan is home there is no compare, <br />Even when my body is somewhere else to rome, <br />My heart resides in Michigan, Oh Michigan my home.<br /><br />Coreena Dejesus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/11-11-2007-michigan-my-home/
