WHERE I’M FROM

I am from Sweet Tea, from Downy and Gain.
I am from the two story white house down the lane.
I am from pinetrees, the pine cone house.
I am from know it alls and tattle tails, from get up and sit down and be quiet.
I am from the Birthday parties and Halloween parties.
From hot summers and cold winters.
I am from getting up on Sunday mornings, and going to Church right down the road.
I’m from Harlan, KY, and green beans and cornbread.
From the Grandparents that warned me about life, and the cold windy nights.
I am from fragments, and the faint smell of the fireplace going.
