I am....

I am from muddy river shores, from southern rock and humidity. I am from the days of neighborhood kickball teams, sunburns and mosquito bites. I am from the mountains and the crunchy autumn leaves. I am from turkey for every holiday, and waiting 'til the last minute, from Mother and Father and our God. I am from the truth-tellers and the liars. From "Stand up for yourself!" and "Respect your elders!" I am from Christianity as well as insanity. I am from Irish and Indian, sweet potatoes and cookouts. From the Navy, the Cold War and the Depression. I am from a shoebox in a closet, graduation and baby pictures on display. A Harley in the garage and an old orange pickup in front of a trailer. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Comma Usage Graphic Organizer:
