Where I come from ...

Where I come from ... beautiful oaks come alive and join arms over roads that lead home.

Where I come from ... towering trees whisper sweet nothings.

Where I come from ... the sun wishes it could shine high every day of its four seasons.

Where I come from ... sugar couldn't be sweeter.

Where I come from ... birds sing southern praises as if they were hymnals.

Where I come from ... screens are a man's best friend.

Where I come from ... hot is our favorite lament.

Where I come from ... dusk is ripe for hide and seek.

Where I come from ... fireflys light the swamp.

Where I come from ... stories are lives filled with the happiest of sorrows.

Where I come from ... secrets are generations old waiting to be told.

Where I come from ... mockery is tolerated because it is they who are ignorant.

Where I come from ... loyalty goes beyond blood.

Where I come from ... spirit steeps true and runs deep.

Where I come from ... suffering sparks a movement and delights the literary world.

Where I come from ... flowers wilt in the shade and bloom in the heat.

Where I come from ... pineapples welcome me home and bid you good night.

Where I come from ... is where I intend to stay.
