Where I'm From final cut


Where I’m From

I am from berry picking baskets and Ford trucks,

From John Deere tractors and dogs running free.

I am from backwoods, deep snow, and warm sunrises coming over the mountain.

I am from the rustic barn fences and cows in the fields.

I am from inspiring sisters, summer camping trips, and fishing with dad

From “Wait until your father gets home!” and “What are you girls doing?”

I am from Christian faith where I was taught anything is possible if you follow the Lord, our God.

I am from the home of the Blackwater Falls that reminded me to be quiet and just listen,

And Irish heritage that gave me my red hair and temper.

From Moores and McDowells, hard workers yet even softer hearts.

From the scary baby doll stories told by cousins, women’s weekends where we can act silly, and the beach vacations that always have mishaps.

I am from winding roads that always lead me back home, and a great family, that no matter where I go in life, they will always be there for me.
