Big Ohio
Great big fields
Grain and seed
Big Ohio
Where the birds are freed

Great big Ohio
Where I felt my first breath
Trees of acorn
Great big Ohio
Where I was born

Wide open passages
Between which I ran
Chasing down dead birds
Wide open passages
Where words became words

Long lasting nights
When we discovered the fun things
Ran around, around, around
Long lasting nights
Between lost and found

Big, tall Ohio
Pain is in the air
Discovery everywhere
Big, tall Ohio
Where the winds whips your hair

So vast, Ohio
You’ve blown open the door
Let the past be past
So vast, Ohio
Be free at last

Brand new Ohio
The floors sparkle with life
New people surround
Brand new Ohio
Where possibilities abound

Short, everlasting moments
A forgotten comrade of mine
A transient, magical time
Short, everlasting moments
Without reason or rhyme

Stormy weather, Ohio
Beat the proverbial drum
Secrets will be told
Stormy weather, Ohio
Where the story shall unfold

Big Ohio
Run right beside me
Play the everlasting game,
Big Ohio
Never forget your name
I grew up in a small town in Ohio, in case you didn't catch that bit. This poem was used as my class poem.
