Enchanted

I saw beauty in a flower in Santa Fe
   on my journey around the country.
It bloomed in the desert
     and called to me "stay,"
     but I had more places to visit and re-visit  
     along the way.
So I moved to California to live near the Bay
     and back to New Jersey for friends and family
     until the flower called with its bouquet,
     "Come back and make home
     the City of Santa Fe."
That harkening I answered  
     and now I proudly say
     that I live in the flower, the desert flower,
     the City of Santa Fe.

I have lived in 5 states and been in 48. But maybe this one will hold.
