One of the things I love most about WV is the raw honesty of the people and their ability to find beauty in things that most people can’t see. I never understood how rare this was until I moved away. This poem captures both of those things beautifully. Keep writing.

Hey Mom and Heather! It’s good to run into two of my favorite West Virginians in a new place.

My pride is bursting at the seams! Love this poem for expressing so well what I have seen for nearly 70 years all around me (mixed in with the beauty of WV that I love.)
