Another of the entries in the little contest ..I thought this one was deserving of a post all by itself..because I just loved it!
Miz Frannie from Freedom Valley Farm wrote this:(I think it sums it up pretty good)
Twenty Short Words To Describe The South
Would Drip Like Honey From My Mouth.
I'd Tell Of All My Kith And Kin
And Then I'dTell It All O'er Agin.
The Stories OfCountry Before The Town
Of Those Who Plowed Our Fertile Ground.
Our Fathers And Mothers Who Came And Stayed
On Whose Foundation Our South Is Laid.
All The Traditions They Brought With Them
The Songs They Sang And The Worship Hymn.
The Stories, The Lessons,TheStrength,TheLove
Always Thanking The One Above.
Teaching Goodness By Living The Part
Showing Kindness Is From The Heart.
A Hard Earned Dollar
For A Hard Day's Work
We're Taught In Life Never To Shirk.
The South Is Lasting
The South Is True
We Give Our Best In All We Do.
This Is Of What The South Is Made
Not For North, OrEast, NorWest I'dTrade.
