The Bond

By Huel Waddell, Kenai

The midnight sun so majestic and long,

The sun shining so bright it hurts your eyes

Then come the snow, how it blows

And so cold one can barely see

Then the Northern Lights appear, dancing

through the sky, a sight you seldom see

“God made Alaska for me.”

The moose, caribou, wolves and eagles

Without number that roam from Mt. McKinley

to the sea, “yes, God made Alaska for me.”

My loved ones and friends can not understand

How I bond to such a land, all I can say you

will have to come to see! Was why God made

Alaska for me.
