I found her in the state of Kentucky.
I fell so hard and felt so lucky.
She was trapped and in a bit of a jam.
I knew what I was doing, I didn't give a damn.

We talked and we met on a warm spring night.
I fell into a trance, it was love at first sight.
After a wonderful Sunday, we grudgingly parted.
I knew in my heart, something special had started.

Long walks at night and holding hands by day,
she looked into my eyes and decided to stay.
She with her long brown hair, we closely sat,
she in her skirt and me in my hat.

Almost a year and still going strong.
Any time away from her is always too long.
In the beginning I was unsure and a little wary.
I found my true love, her name is Carrie.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
