Where I'm From

.
I am from hidden caves, from  and rolling hills.
I am from the house in the middle of nowhere.


I am from colorful trees, and pink sunsets.
I am from evening guitar jams, honesty, from Mongi and Pap, to card games with Murrays.


I am from taking in stray animals and stray kids.
From go-cart racing and exploring uncharted forests.


I am from Bible thumping Churchgoers.
I'm from rambunctious law-breakers, black berries and I am from the land of "too many potatoes."


From the POW camps in Korea, the backwoods cabin, and endless space.
I am from stories past down from old to young, time and time again.
