“You Are Colorado”

Your stature is like the mountains - you stand so brave and tall
Your soul is that of the forest - deep and pure and strong
Your eyes are as a true of blue as the Rocky Mountain skies
With a twinkle of the stars - that shine so clear and bright
Your smile is as the sunshine - reflecting off the milk white snow
Warming through the hearts of all of those you know
Your joy is like the feeling - of the newly born into the wild
You show it as a man - yet feel the enchantment as a child
Your presence takes ones breath away - as a cool, refreshing mountain breeze
Your absence is as silent - as autumns changing colors of the leaves
Your wisdom runs like the rivers - through the valleys far below
Your voice is proud and strong as the canyons deep felt echoes
In your heart there is a passion - hot as the fire beneath the rocky ground
Both, in time, will be released and a freedom will be found
I believe there is a day in time - when you will come to know
That in my heart, my mind and soul
You are...Colorado
