Where I'm From


I'm from dogs waiting at the door having fun and settling scores I'm from praying before we eat and taking shoes off of feet I'm from upstairs and downstairs where socks don't always come in pairs I'm from in bed at nine and seeing family all the time I'm from places to go and hard work always shows I'm from Thanksgiving is here but no family is near I'm from daddy is dead and crying in bed I'm from Santa ain't real and scars just won't heal I'm from friends galore and nice to the core I'm from believing in heaven and just being Devon
