LANSING — Michigan could be the sixth state to adopt an official poem. Written by Millie “the Chiseler” Miller, “Hand of Michigan” is short and sweet, referencing much of Michigan’s majestic Mother Nature. “God knitted a mitten of wood, rock and lime,
Made a foundation to last through all time. He planted his palm with Hemlock and pine,
Then blessed it with rain and sunshine. In all the world there’s no other land
That God himself patterned from his own hand!
