My West Virginia Home

My West Virginia Home          Wild and Wonderful West Virginia, my home sweet home Wild and wonderful, hear the babbling brook Enjoy the view from the New River Bridge overlook Stand on the mountain; breathe in the fresh clean air Trees in autumn that our good Lord decorated with flair Visions of wonder, listen you’ll hear everyone sigh Imagine this magnificent view through a camera’s eye Righteous beauty Wild and Wonderful will stand God holds West Virginia in the palm of His hand In echoing tones voices carry on the wind over the snow No hustle and bustle here, things move easy and slow In this majestic mountain hideaway where my heart belongs About a place, West Virginia poets, write poems and songs Wild and Wonderful West Virginia my home sweet home Author: Nancy Lee Shrader By nannalee   © 2008 nannalee (All rights reserved)

 

 

Author's Note

My poem My West Virginia was chosen by Poetry On the Move to be displayed with artwork on the buses in Morgantown, West Virginia. A very proud honor for me. One of Salvatore Buttaci's poems was also chosen for this honor.
