Michigan Poem
I saw this on a friend's blog a few years ago and I came across it again today. I love all things Michigan, of course, including our "mitten" shape! I actually "published" a book about our cold Michigan life and sent it to a friend in Missouri. She loved it so much that she had it bound for me. I still treasure it today. It has nothing to do with this poem, of course, but maybe I'll share my book at some point too. 
Here goes...sorry I can't indent and make this all cool. 
It's winter here in Michigan and the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below 
Oh, how I love ole Michigan
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter 
And your nose freezes shut
Yes, the weather here is wonderful 
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave my Michigan 
'Cause I'm frozen to the ground. 
By the way, no snow as of yet, but I hear it's coming. Maybe in time for Santa??

When you love your enemies, you reveal what kind of God our God is. I was thinking today about how stubborn we are as people sometimes....

Great poem! I lived in Northern Ontario for a few years and remember cold and snow very well. I'd love to hear more about your book some day.
