Where I Am From
I am from pecan trees
and many dogs.
From big blue bedrooms
and video games.
I am from many friends
spending the night and
staying up late.
From fresh picked apples
and giant steaks.
I am from the big
white house with all
the trees.
From riding 4-wheelers in
the mud.
From my grandpa taking
me to the park every weekend.
I am from Monopoly and
race cars.
From smoothies and riding
bikes with friends.
I am from my new born sister.
Her tender skin and soft eyes.
From basketball and baseball
games.
I am from the world
all around me.
From running head on
into whatever's next.
