Poor Country Farm Boy Goes Home

HAYFORK THE LAST DAYS
Its been 20 years since I have been back to the place i grew up as a kid. The place my brothers and sister refer to as "THE LAND". The last time i saw the place I was 13 and some officers were looking for me and my friend Matt who was one of my closes friends on the farm. The police drove up and me and Matt ran to the hills like scared little kids. The second time a friend of the family came out to find us and assure us the police meant no harm. We were dirty poor mountain kids hehe really. I mean we knew that land like the back of our hands. No one was going to come take us away with out us going. But we did go. The police picked us up and took us away. Now I will be coming back and I am not sure what to expect. I think of going back now and all i want to do is climb the mountain and sit in the woods and think. When I was a kid at night we would here the coyotes yell back and forth as they were trying to find each other. Almost as if they were looking for each other. One would yell on one side of the mountain the others would yell back. it was amazing and it was nature.

ALL GROWN UP - OR SO HE SAYS:-)
I left a kid 13 years old scared and not knowing where I would end up. the first thing I got when i left the land was a new pair of shoes. I never remembered having a white pair of shoes that looked like this in my life. All of my shoes were always used hand me downs. I left with a dream to do something with my life. To be someone. To maybe some day have a care and maybe make a semi decent living. I wanted so badly to not worry about where i would get my next meal from or ever being Hungary again. Now I look back and can not believe i was ever that kid. I can not believe where I came from. I have no idea how i got to where I am now. I look in the mirror and wonder some times if that was ever me or was it some strange dream. I will say one thing I never regretted anything that happen in my life. Be it good or bad. I leaned so much. When i buy something I always enjoy it. How many people can say that. A simple cup of hot coco to a new TV. What ever it is i get I enjoy so much because to this day I still remember what things were like and how lucky I am to this day. How I have when many have nothing. I am thankful for this and feel oh so blessed. Sure maybe I still can not spell but I can do almost anything else I have ever put my mind too and for this I am for ever grateful.
