Staying

I'm from love and hate.
From souther hospitality and sibling wars.
I'm from a family of four.
I'm from food and fireflies
From naps in the back seat.
I'm from grandmas cookin
From lickin the bowl clean
I'm from a troubled father
A mother with bad timing
I'm from yes ma'am and no sir
To never getting in trouble.
From playin house
I'm from the family of God
Teachin John 3:16
From walking down the aisle
Getting on my knees
I'm from a little blue box
Stuffed and over flowing.
Filled with faces and papers
Too precious to toss
I'm from lost faces and flying time
From regretting everything
Plastering a smile on my face.
I'm from where I'm from.
And by the grace of God,
I'm staying
