where im from

I’m from the bright artsy colors
Vivid words of adventure and stories
I'm from the flow of the creek
Flowing into the waterfall
I’m from the flow of the river                                                            
The one Kyle and I put our hook of bonding into
I’m from the maple tree in the middle of the field
The one I used to play around all my life

I’m from the laughing and singing
Of family funs                            
I’m from the charms I get every year
From the rocking horse to the softball
I’m from the bright blue collar
That wraps its self around my dog’s neck
I’m from the pink, black, and green earbuds                  
That plays the most beautiful music

I’m form the family gatherings
To home alone
I’m from the jambalaya and cake
To gumbo and brownies                               

I’m from the picture
Hanging on my wall
I’m from the dinosaur blanket
That’s rapped around my brother in winter
I’m from the quilt that me and Maw-Maw made             
That keeps me closer to her

I’m from the backwoods
To the softball field
I’m from books of wisdom to books of stupidity
