Where I am from

I come from Where Hells Canyon and the Clearwater meet.

I come from where the Bitterroot and the Gospels collide.

I come from where the river of no return and Camas prairie come together.

I come from where the Selkirk and the Water’s edge merge.

I come from the land of Hot August Nights and dogwoods grow.

I come from where spring brings a sea of wheat and green.

I come from where the Vandals rein.

I come from where huckleberry cherry pie are supreme.

I come from where churches grow together.

I come from the Lambs leg and from the wool bales.

I come from where Miles and Geneva meet.

Steve brought me to the rule of law.

Julie taught me that every child is special.
