Our California
Poems from Marin County
California is my home and it’s all I’ve known
By Samara Reynolds (6th Grade)
I am the bear running through the mountain stream
I am the bear skiing down the mountain slopes
I am the bear rummaging through your stuff while your sleeping
California is my home and it's all I’ve known
From the crash from the waves and the flicker in the fire
I roam these streets with my head held high
California is my home and it's all I’ve known
From the roar in the wind when you try to fall asleep
From the splash in the puddle
California is my home and it's all I’ve known
To the sky tall redwoods with birds flying high
When you sit on your porch listening to the rain one drip at a time
California is my home and it's all I’ve known
When you sit around a campfire under the glistening stars in there midnight sky
California is my home and it's all I’ve known

Rolling hills and nearly perfect weather
I always think my county is better.
From end to end it's like a state of its own
Marin county is where I call my home.
Marin is a hidden gem
Beautiful sights that have no end.
Where modern meets nature in a perfect blend
My love for Marin has no end.
An amazing county unknown by many
Located in the bay area where adventure is plenty.
50 minutes to the city
40 minutes to the coast
If you have transportation you can do the most.
While quiet and homey at first glance
Marin County has amazing culture and surprises
if you give it a chance.

The rolling hills of sunlight
cradle blooming valleys, punctuated
with a worn fence or lone doe.
Flaxen grass sways with each rumble
of the train, held in the embrace
of a low-hanging sun and curving
land– here, where everything is golden
