THAT GROW WILD ON THIS MOUNTAIN OF

GLEE.  OFF I GO ON GRAND ADVENTURES!,

EXPLOREING THIS MOUNTAIN AND FINDING

IT'S TREASURES.

I AM FROM "LOOK OUT!!  STAND BACK!!  WITH

JUST ONE MOVE HE'LL STRIKE AND ATTACK!!"

"PLEASE DON'T TELL MOM SHE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND,

THAT EVEN THIS CREATURE WAS MADE FROM GOD'S

HANDS."

I AM FROM "GET ON HOME BEFORE DAD COMES BACK,

THERE'S CHORES TO BE DONE AND THE HAY NEEDS TO

BE STACKED."

I AM FROM CUTTING FIELDS AND BAILING HAY, BRANDING

COWS ON HOT SUMMER DAYS. HELPING MOM AROUND THE

HOUSE, KNOWING THAT I WILL HAVE TO PUT ON THAT AWFUL

BLOUSE!

I AM FROM JAMES AND MARY, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WHOSE

LOVE NEVER VARIES.  STRONG, WISE AND ALWAYS THE FIRST

TO ENCOURAGE, "TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!", WHEN I FIND

MYSELF LOST AND DISCOURAGED. 

I AM FROM HAVING FAITH IN GOD EVEN ON THE DARKEST OF DAYS,

KNOWING THAT HE WILL BRING LIGHT AND SHOW ME THE WAY.

I AM FROM A VALLEY OF GREEN THAT TURNS TO A MOUNTAIN

FOR SAFETY.  THIS VALLEY AND MOUNTAIN HAVE WATCHED

ME GROW AND THEY KNOW PLENTY.  MY LIFE HAS BEEN FULL OF CRAZY ADVENTURES AND I'VE HAD MY FAIR SHARE OF LONG BORING

LECTURES.  THIS PLACE AND MY FAMILY HAVE BUILT A STRONG FOUNDATION, FOR ME TO GROW UP AND BECOME APART OF THIS GREAT NATION.  MY ADVENTURES ARE FAR FROM OVER, I HAVE JUST BEGUN!! TO PAST DOWN STORIES AND TRADITIONS THAT I HAVE WON.  

WATCHING MY CHILDREN LAUGH AND GROW, REMINDS ME OF A TIME FROM LONG AGO. MEMORIES COME POURING BACK, THAT REMIND ME OF THE DAYS OF GROWIN UP IN HOGBACK..
