Where the hills are on hills and the woods touch the sky.
I am from the home that hides,
the place where birds sing and gardens spring.
I am from the Rivesville at the Coal Company store the store that had everything a person could need. I am from Green Town named for the 12 green houses built by the coal company and they all looked just the same.
I am from an active faith in Jesus Christ,
worshiping and praying day and night.
Giving and sharing the love He has for everyone.
I am from the small cherry tree,
from jewelry and candles.
I am from the open brick home, strong, and firm.
It felt rough and hard.
I am from trees that surround me on all sides.
from hills and narrow roads.
I'm from the Christmas family gathering and the family sauce recipe,
from Rick Vasicek and Dee Dee Vasicek.
I'm from the hard working and fun loving family.
From the obey your mom and dad and treat others how you want to be treated.
I'm from a strong faith in Jesus Christ and what He has done for all.
I'm from Clarksburg,
from sauce and pierogies.
From the grandma with lung cancer,
the woman that was near death.
I am from Fairmont, West Virginia where the mountains are high.
Here are three photos that I would like to use in my UDL book. The first is a picture of my family. The second picture is of my great grandpa and the third picture is my favorite view from my house.
One thing I learned from your poem is that you are very religious. You are different from me because I am not from coal mining. One interesting historical fact I learned is that the town you are from is called Green Town because of the 12 green houses that were built by the coal company.
