Will live forever in the ways of

West Georgia lifts her head above
the beauty
Of the cornets that crown the ver
dant hills;
Her throne securely rests amid the
woodland
Where nature’s sweetest tribute
daily spills.
Marching feet are guided by her
sure light,
Shining o nthe darkness like a
star;
The candles of her children now
are burning
To reflect a mother’s spirit from
afar.
