Where I'M From

I am from from ring around the rosie, from catch me if you can. The gentle sway on the swing and from the smiles that ligth up my way I am from the strength and power of my horses, from the patience of casting a line at the pond. I am from the yell of "DINNERS READY" across the vaccent fields, from the country music coresing my ear drums, The long stary nights that shine brighter than diamonds I am from the voice that brings you to your knees in high, from being stubborn to loving. I am from the plants blooming in dry soil, from the romance in The Notebook. The blue eyes painted by the sky and ocean and the heart strengthen through determination and love I am form football friday nights, from the words that spill out onto paper. I am from the comfort of my home and bed, from my friends and laughter that keeps me from getting lost, the power of belonging to a family I am a blooming rose with thorns, unique but with a guard up.
