I am from a the base of the Sauratown mountains, the only chain in
the U.S. to start and end in the same county, and from trees so beautiful in
fall that you forget everything and just stare.
I am from the small white house in the back of a small development.
I am from the place of beautiful trees and good weather year
round.
I am from competition and from the idea that hard work will always
pay off.
I am from Fansler and from Amen, from the concept of always
finishing and never accepting losing and from always putting God and family
ahead of everything.
I am from the food lovers and sports fanatics.
From a family that will always be there for me and from friends
whom I can trust my life with.
I am from belief in God and faith that His plan will always shine
through no matter what the storm.
I'm from Foothills of the mountains and from 4 generations of
North Carolinians, and from Mac and Cheese and big juicy steaks.
From a family where sports have traveled up the lineage for years,
and from many afternoons and nights of working on Baseball with my dad.
I am from the South, from warmer weather, from people with warm
hearts and from a family that spent their time on me!
Cool poem, I also love mac and cheese with my big juicy steaks.
ReplyDeleteJonathan, I love Pachabel and after watching your video, I wondered if that was you playing. I also almost got defensive about "OUR" West Virginia mountains because I think you are trying to say your North Carolina mountains are better? :) Beautifully done Jonathan!
