Where I'm from...
I am from books.
From movies and stuffed animals.
I am from a brick house
Soft yellow color, and built strong.
It looked liked a yellow punch buggy,
But square-ish.
I am from the Crape Myrtle.
The Rose bush
Beautiful, but guarded.
I'm from the Christmas get togethers and curly hair,
Long to the waist or short to the chin.
From Mom and Dad and Sister,
I'm from the being late and being loud.
From Sweet Dreams! And Get down!
I'm from Prayers,
Down on my knees.
I'm from Beaches and cities,
Empanadas and Casseroles.
From the Runaways with imaginations
The arguers with voices to match.
The box with our pictures
Reminding me of my life with them.
I am from the Crazies and the Control Freaks
Whether friends or family,
They make life a roller coaster of energy.
