Where I'm From

I am from the Rocky Mountains sitting from every direction.
I am from the yellow sandy ground that lies under my feet.
I am from the cactus that stands 5 feet taller than I
I am from Sunday football and angry men,
From my Mom and my Father to the Brehms
I am from workers and believers
From a soldier and a businessman
I’m from Arizona, chicken and steak represents the two sides.
From the death of a beloved grandparent whose life was taken by cancer,
From the loss of a dog who was a brother for 16 years.
I am from a great line of people who leave hope for others and kindness for those who need it.
