Alaskan Girls

I am an Alaskan girl,

I’ve grown up in the wild.

I’ve lived through winters bitter cold

and played through summers mild.

In Spring I clothe myself in flowers,

in autumn I’ll wear fur.

I love the mountains that tower above

and I know where the glaciers once were.

I can sing along with the rain’s low song

as through the year it falls.

I’m friends with the bear and mountain goats,

and I know the eagle’s calls.

I know the tides like the back of my hand,

I’ve played in the ocean’s surf.

I’ve spent days with the ravens, who taught me to laugh,

from their silliness and mirth.

I’ve feasted on berries of blue and of red,

I’ve howled with the wolves in their packs.

I’ve traveled on tundra, over mountains and streams,

and at the beauty I’ve always looked back.

I will praise my Creator for putting me here,

and for making this beautiful land.

For you can see His mark from the northern lights high,

down to the small grains of sand.

I am an Alaskan girl,

I’ve been brought up in the wild.

I’m happy to call this place my home,

and I’m happy to be God’s child.
