I Am From a Small Town

I am from a small town, where life moves at a gentle pace, where neighbors lend a hand and smiles light up each face. I am a small-town girl, with dreams that reach the sky; I want to see the world and watch the stars up high. But now I am in the city and it's a different scene; the lights are bright and flashing and people move like machines. I miss the sound of crickets and the smell of fresh-cut hay, but I'll embrace this new adventure and see where it leads today. I'll learn to navigate the streets and make friends along the way; I'll keep my small-town values and let them guide me each day. For though the city may be big and life may move so fast, I am a small-town girl at heart and that's the strength that lasts. So I'll keep my head up high and chase my dreams with all my might; I am from a small town, the world within my sight.
