Where+Are+You+From?

I'm from the sandy coastline of southeast Georgia The place where the sunset kisses the Atlantic goodnight And the moon rocks the tide back and forth.

I'm from fishermen casting probing nets in search of the ocean's bounty And crabbers casting ensnaring baskets to trap the king blue crab. I'm from oyster beds that cut bare feet And tangled fishing lines that snap at the jerk of a big one.

I'm from a daddy who wet his pole after work every day And brought home coolers of fish with no thought of cleaning them himself.

I'm from a mother who I'd bestow the "Mother of the Year" award. A woman whose sacrifice has birthed a legacy who calls her "Blessed." A tower of strength Our rock of Gibraltar.
