Mommy Life

Have you heard a Bobwhite calling in the Carolina pines or heard the bellow of a diesel in the Appalachia mines?
Does the call of Niagara thrill you when you hear her waters roar?
Do you look with awe and wonder at a Massachusetts shore...
Where men who braved a hard new world first stepped on Plymouth's Rock?
Do you think of them when you stroll along a New York City dock ?

Have you seen a snowflake drifting in the Rockies way up high?
Have you seen the sun come blazing down from a bright Nevada sky?
Do you hail to the Columbia as she rushes to the sea or bow your head at Gettysburg in our struggle to be free?

Have you seen the mighty Tetons?
Have you watched an eagle soar?
Have you seen the Mississippi roll along Missouri's shore?
Have you felt a chill at Michigan when, on a winter's day, her waters rage along the shore in thunderous display?
Does the word "Aloha" make you warm?
Do you stare in disbelief when you see the surf come roaring in at Waimea reef?

From Alaska's cold to the Everglades,
From the Rio Grande to Maine,
My heart cries out,
My pulse runs fast at the might of her domain.
