Where I'm From

Where I'm From

I am from open land and open sky

where both find harmony with one another.

Where the wind freely travels and swirl and stirs

 painting the sky with a hazy grey-brown.

I am from a life that has know struggle 

and a life of plenty. 

Beginning in a home where shouts had brought tears

and where silence brought fear. 

Where bottles changed the man I called "dad".

That all is behind me now. 

Forgiveness and redemption have reclaimed that pain

and given me a new path to travel down.
