Where I Am From...

I am from the hollow where everyone knows your name, from chocolate chip cookies and homemade ice cream.

I am from the house with the red door and black shutters.

I am from the trees that lend us protection, the Potomac River where we often play.

I am from football and open arms, from Harman’s and Maynard’s and Maw and Gee.

I am from summers spent in Myrtle Beach and a love for animals.

From dreaming big and always believing that you can do anything you set your mind to.

I am from a large Catholic church. That's perfect for family weddings.

I'm from the friednly town of Keyser, WV, “Chelsea salads” and hot wings.

From the heart of a generous man and the hands of a woman that are always giving, and my adopted brothers they’ve given me.

I am from working hard to become the best to celebrating the hard work paying off. I am from the memories that will never be forgotten.
