I am from Friday Night Lights
From cleats and uniforms
I am from the aroma of a house full of boys
stinky, sweaty, that mom somehow kept clean
I am from the woods behind my house,
making forts and airsoft wars
I’m from Sunday suppers at Granny’s and classic movie quotes
From Granny Peggy and Uncle Chris
I’m from the hard-workers and do-it-alls
From always try your best and be yourself
I’m from church in the morning and praying before supper at night
I’m from small town Franklin, Kentucky,
fried chicken, and sweet tea
From the two fingers my Pa lost in a machine,
the many books my Papa has wrote.
Familiar faces displayed throughout the house,
I am from these special moments captured throughout my life.
