Where I am From Poem

I am from snowy winters, from the home of the pepperoni roll and beauty most people have never seen.
From the rolling hills and beautiful streams and where everything is green.
I am from the Bible belt, where families act like families and God comes before selfish ambitions.
I am from big thanksgiving dinners and snowball fights and summer days by the pool, from grandparents who taught us songs about the Lord and parents who worked to give us everything they never had and loved us like they wouldn't see us tomorrow. 
I am from the place that no matter where you go to chase fame, fortune, and glory.......... will always call you back home.
A place that will melt your heart and test it a time or two as well. 
From never giving up on a person or a dream and always taking the time to help someone in need.
I'm from parents with multiple nationalities, who embrace and love diversity, from chocolate chip cookies and lasagna.
From the place where you love and protect your siblings, and family comes first, even if you never got the brother you always wanted.
I am from open fields waiting to be played on, from baseball and football until you fell asleep, and manhunt with neighborhood friends.
There's no trading where I'm from!!!
