Where I Come From

Where I’m from Would you like to know Where I was born From whose seeds I sow Not from the hill country Where beautiful flowers bloom Not by the river Where brides marry in June But I’m from a place You’ve never been I’m from the depths of hearts so true I’m from the soul of hearts once blue I’m from the joy of what’s meant to be I’m from a place you dream to see I am an angel I’m from above I was born in a city But, I come from love.

How nice and sweet! Especially from a woman whose race has been tortured by a horrible racism! (Many people complain of being victims of racism without suffering in reality. They should think of black people...) Go on this way. Congrats!
