Virginia, place in history, place so dear, to me.


Come home to the motherhood place of America

Virginia, history is scribed into every mountain

Across her vast forest, rivers and seaports

Exploits related in her history, among her lore

Boone, Stoner, Washington, so many more

From foreign shores,from north and east

To our history, her contributions, not the least

Jameatown, Castlewood, Moccasin Gap

America's folks in peril, Indians, Red Coats

Threats at every step, into wilderness new

From freedom's passion, she grew

Venue to new frontiers, Virginia travelers

More than passers through,Frontiersmen

The adventurous soul of America's men

Who would dare the Indians to let them through

Their quest, always the new view, the next river

A valley lush wth game and wood

For their young nation,many gave all they could

What men today could possibly stand taller

Into Virginia ventured men that were the best

Forging a new free nation, moving ever to the west

Native or foreigner, never relenting

Virginia,springboard of their quest

Where real men stood up to the test

I do go to Virginia every Spring time with a friend to her son's house. Dolphin, Va, a little town off rte 95. We went to my favorite Bingo, as her son is a caller in a Catholic Church there.
It was a nice trip and I went 3 years in a row and looking for another year soon. It is beautiful country as you said.
