Kansas Invites YouStretched as far as eye can see, Where the shade trees in the yard Call the birds to sing for me, I would have my home today; I would live there-I would stay. I would watch the floating clouds In the distance, slowly rise! Hear the rumbling thunders roll From the first crash in the skies; Followed by a silent call For the first raindrops to fall. I would view the streams that wind Thru the rolling prairies green; Where the elm trees cast their shade, And the rippling waters screen! Highways where wild roses greet Lovers, spying their retreat! Kansas! Still the home of men Who will never know defeat. Onward to ambition's goal; Happy homes theirs, no retreat-- Men are winning homes today You're invited--come and stay! __Ed Blair |
