This Land

This land is what we are all about Where we were born and raised Whether in a small or large city Or in open fields where cattle graze It is yesterday and tomorrow It is where our life begins And as we grow much older It is where it also ends This land is where the families Begin and where they grow In the bustling industrial cities Or in country where life is slow We cherish our land always It means the world to us all It sets boundaries as well Whether land is large or small Many years ago there were Farmsteads scattered near and far Folks visited on horseback For back then there were no cars It is universal, of course Whether red dirt or white sand Just where ever you happen to be It is all about this land!
