Where I am From

I am from Jericho, from Pennzoil, and the pond. 
I am from the hilltop, the two story, and the wood smoke.
I am from the dogwood in blossom, the tall trees, and the pine needles.
I am from Sunday rides, and kindness, from Lester and Myrtle, and Chadocks.
I am from the drive in, and well worn work boots with a lighter side.
From green beans will put hair on your chest, and to never telling your sister that.
I am from old Methodist churches where you're related to everyone there in some way.
I'm from Parkersburg, Ireland, and venison and potatoes.
From the time my father gave me "the talk"... on the importance of a clean vehicle, and that sometimes its ok to get it dirty, and my mothers love for nature.
I am from the old bookshelf in a house full of love, family, and memories past.
