I am from Kentucky.

From hammers and hatchets.

I am from the slick brown floor.

I am from a beautiful, tidy, and perfect house

I am from roses and coreopsis.

I am from the beautiful smell in my front yard (my moms roses). 

I am from silkies and bannies.

I am from horses and miniature donkeys.

I am from hiking and swimming. 

I am from Angeli and David.

I am from black hair and brown eyes.

From “Country born, country bred, I’ll be country until I'm dead” and “Put on your big boy boots and deal with it.”

I am from chicken dumplings and pot roast and taters                                            

I am from a place where life is tough.

You gotta be careful what you do, but no matter what happens you have to carry on.
