God's Country Home (poem # 10)

Napowrimo poem # 10

God’s Country Home
By Lisa Noe

Beautiful tulips growing in my garden
The tulips are as pretty as they can be
I wait each spring, the ground is hardened

But they push themselves through you see
In spring the ground looks like the Garden of Eden
The tulips are as pretty as they can be

They are red and yellow mixed with daffodils
And surrounded by a blanket of flox
Oh the beauty of the old Kentucky hills

Where there are wild flowers growing in rocks
Where mountains reach to Heaven above
And are surrounded by a blanket of flox

In these hills is the land that I love
It’s been kissed by angels, this I believe
Where mountains reach to Heaven above

This land I love grows flowers it seems
Beautiful tulips growing in my garden
It’s been kissed by angels, this I believe
In the clear streams I see my reflection

In my eyes you see flowers gleam
This land I love grows flowers it seems
In clear streams I see my reflection
This land could pass God’s inspection.
