Diana Darby ** "I V" ** Intravenous

Texas Pride

I will always be a Texan,
even if I never live there again.
I will always know
pecans,
bar b-que,
refried beans,
pork tamales,
brisket,
and seventy degree winters.
I will always know a Texas sky.
That blue cloudless
sky
with the golden light.
The warm air.
The bluebonnets,
proud and strong.
I will remember
no matter where I am,
where I came from.
I pity the rest of you
non-Texans.
