Mission Texas

Mission, Texas ( where I am From ) M...My home town is Mission, My state is Texas. I...It is by the Southern part of Texas, by the Mexican border. S...Some good Tex Mex. food can be found there. S...Some winter Texans have adopted this place. I...It is known for it's hot climate. O...Over the years it has grown, but not much. N...New comers are always welcome. T...Texas is known for it's Cowboys. Rodeos and Southern hospitality. E...Everything in Texas is big, even our Texas jokes. X...Xoom into Texas and you shall see- just how we can be. A...Always a big smile to welcome you, just come on over and see what's new. S...Seeing is believing, so they say, so how about it - are you game? 04/06/2014 Written by Lucilla M. Carrillo For contest - Where I am From

Yeah WESLACO, TEXAS!!! Mission, is still on the grow, that's what I love about the valley. You got to see it to believe it, the warm welcomes, The Best Tex _ Mex food... I'm adding this poem to my favorite list. I love and enjoy any poem, that relates.... XOX~ Linda

Thank you Linda for liking my poem. I could write a lot more, but it's an acrostic. My Parents were from around the Rio Grand area. I really would like to meet you in person if I still have time. May your life and your family' be filled with blessings always.... Lucy

When I was a Kid we lived in Browns Ville Texas and spent a lot of time on Padre Island. I think there was a bad oil splill there some years later. The one thing that still comes to mind was that it was always windy there.

Thanks for reading Richard. I can't believe that you once lived here in The Valley. That is great.

Hi Keith; Thanks for reading my poem. I could write a lot more, but was an acrostic. Were you talking about the Dallas Cowboys?

I used to live in Texas and I have heard of Mission, but I don't believe I've ever been there! Are you close to Brownsville? I believe you are very far in South Texas! I really enjoyed reading this enlightening poem here this evening!! What a powerful piece! Great Work!!
