The inspiration for the verses comes from the town where my children were raised, Newkirk, Oklahoma. Some of the pictures on the YouTube video are of downtown Newkirk. We are thankful that we were able to raise our two children in a small farming town. There was one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. Of course, there was only one red light. The pace and friendliness of an American small town is wonderful for raising children. I don’t believe America’s small towns are completely disappearing but they are certainly struggling to stay alive.
