Where I'M From
Where I'm From
I am from Kentucky,
from the baking soda to the bleach on the shelf,
I am from a land that once belonged to Indians,
a land where bears growl and wolfs howl,
A land that smells like freedom,
I am from a place where mother nature goes wild,
A place where the flowers bloom bright,
a place where the yellow sweet corn grows high,
I'm from a place in the God's house were the good load is strongest,
From a place of mothers and fathers living freely,
I'm from a family who works hard and helps others,
from "you don't always get what you what" to "put others before you",
I'm from the heaven above where religion flows strong,
i'm from a room painted white where tears are shed,
i'm from chicken and dumplings to fried green tomatoes
from the stories about Jesus who died on the cross as a sacrifice of all races,
I am from love and wisdom.
