My Ohio Home

MY HOME ©

Ohio is my home,
That’s where I want to be.
I thought that I could roam,
and live beside the sea.

I miss the old Scioto,
as on this path I go.
The Olentangy calls me.
Why did I ever flee?

I miss winter’s slush and snow,
In spring the red bud’s bloom,
The Cardinal’s sweet call low,
and Ohio’s bright fall plume.

No longer content can I be,
to live beside the sea,
or anywhere else I roam.
OHIO is my home.
