I
live in Oregon in the Pacific Northwest,
It
really is though the place I like the best.
I
refer to it as the land of liquid
sunshine,
If you enjoy the rain you will do
just fine.
You don’t need to buy any
suntan lotion,
Here we all kind of move in
slow motion.
Never in a real big hurry to get
anywhere,
Just kind of kicked back in an easy
chair.
Going out on a boat to catch a
fish or two,
Maybe take a nice leisurely trip
to the zoo.
Taking time outs for a picnic at
the beach,
Walks in a park if one is within
easy reach.
Sometimes we enjoy four
seasons a year,
Sunshine warming and bringing
us cheer.
Leaves turning so many colors in
the fall,
If you pause to take in the beauty
of it all.
In the wintertime we even get
some snow,
Bringing to everyone's cheeks a
rosy glow.
After the snow has all melted and
run away,
Then time once again for another
rainy day.
It is beautiful here and green
everywhere,
Bright blue skies and butterflies
in the air.
The rain is responsible for the
air so clean,
Everything here grows so lovely
and green.
If you are fortunate to come
upon a brook,
Hidden in the back where no one
can look.
You might just want to go for a
swim today,
Plenty of time for one if you
decide to stay.
Always able to go in the
woods for a walk,
Even enough time for a
little friendly talk.
I always knew it, right
from the very start,
The land of liquid
sunshine stole my heart.
