My whole life I've lived 5 minutes from the Kentucky border. Usually I pay no attenion when I'd cross the border to get gas or visit my Aunt. But today I crossed Kentucky on the other side & I've never been happier.
Over my right shoulder is the big U of K & in front of me is Louisville. Then there's a stretch of road that makes me both happy & sad. The long road home...Let me tell you when I cross that state line- I might just cry.
Because I know that on the West side of the Lincoln memorial there is a name carved just above a roman column & it says Illinois.
It was the state that made Lincoln great & its the state I call home.
