Where We Live |

Where We Live God made so many kinds of land, To suit the people He had planned. In frozen north, the Eskimo Does very well, midst ice and snow. The tundra nomads like the sweep Of rolling land where reindeer leap. The southern islands, lush and fair Must hold a bit of Eden there. In mountains high, or deserts hot, Somebody likes that place a lot! The prairie grasses thrive and sway Where buffalo once liked to stray And now the rancher's cattle roam, While cowboys ride their rangeland home. It doesn't matter where we live, The point here is, that we should give Such heart-felt thanks to He who cares And made this world He gladly shares! We should be tending carefully The earth He gave to you and me! [This message has been edited by Trillium (edited 10-27-2001).] |

Betty; It is the very least we can do. Also, there is always the future generations to consider. We are His stewards of the land; and we should carefully tend it. I enjoyed reading this, Betty. Good writing. Wanda |

I like the light-heartedness of this poem. I especially liked that in spite of what I think of certain places on earth, there is someone who calls that place home and likes that place quite a lot. Good poem. -Bob |

I like your perspective in this poem. I have lived many places and there is always something special that I remember about them all. Variety is the spice of life.. and just think if all the earth looked and felt the same, vacation's wouldn't be so much fun. |

Thanks Bob: I know people who live places I wouldn't want to, but they think it's the greatest! It's a good thing we don't all want to live in one place, don't you think? Betty Lou Hebert |

You're right Songbird! I remember when I went to Nevada, supposedly for 6 months and thinking I could stand it that long! I stayed for almost 17 years! I saw some beautiful places there too. Betty Lou Hebert |
