You know, Indiana is a funny state.
Like any state there are natural beauties a plenty.
You,
your sister,
and of course,
your mom.
But unlike the beauty of the three of you,
so obvious to the world.
Sometimes in Indiana and other states,
you have to look a little harder, and know where to go.
Once you dig deeper and see this state, and the three of you,
you’ll see beauty is more than just skin deep.
It can be learned,
it can be taught,
sometimes it’s by accident,
just open your eyes,
your ears,
and your mind.
And you’ll see there is beauty everywhere,
