From hard working hands
From mountains and streams
From love of the land.
From "You can do anything"
From "There is a God"
From "Honesty is all"
From "Respect Mom and Dad"
From dreams and wishes
From hard work
From prayers
From unlimited blessings
I am from right here.

Good for you !Straight talking... that is what I like.You sure you're not an Aussie !LOL
A lot of us came from those 'hard working hands'. I am so grateful to my ancestors for leaving their country of birth and starting up fresh in Canada.
I am from right here adds a wonderful sense of continuity.. and the quotes make me still feel the child in you.
i like all the places you are from, they are all on the inside and can be carried where every you go or if you stay right HERE
I like the tone of your poem, Gail, the emphasis on strong values and, as often in your poems, the love of the land.
very nice. i envy you - being rooted to where you grew up.
From the heart of the land she walks!
You have really put your heart into this poem! And I like your concentration on the present: "I am from right here."
I love the pride in this and the ending is awsome. Delightful!
Indeed. And we are always right where we leave ourselves.
you've said everything so tenderly and strongly with a stellar end..
i am from right here is a very grounded statement.
