"Montana by Thomas Perkins
Montana is a world made up of dreams.
Majestic mountains, flowers, and streams,
Prairies, plains, and wooded hills,
Set to the music of meadow lark trills.
Loaded with wild life large and small.
And with a "big sky" to cover it all.
Home is just one of those many dreams,
With it's warmth, comfort, and happiness.
It has the things we always hold dear,
And most wonderful of all it never wanders,
Home is always here."
