Expressions by J. Wright Sain.
I was born in the year 1848,.
in that good old buckeye state;
the birthplace of many of the nations great,
My father was both unlearned and poor
and five bright children played 'round the door
I am the eldest of the five.
by industry and economy proven o'er and o'er,
we managed to keep the wolf from the door.
I am an 89er. and proud to state,
A pioneer of Oklahoma's great state
with the proper conservation of our oil and soil,
we are likely to be envied by states great and small.
The optimism by nature, I can only see
the prosperity of my country,noble and free. /
with the gates of prosperity widely ajar,
the millions of laborers near and
afar
would seek citizinship's higher plane,
and learn from history of Rome,
a contented people must own their homes
decentralization of abnormal wealth
Is the greatest safegaurd of a commonwealth.
Give me neither poverty nor great wealth
but a large stock of confidence in self.
