I Am From

I am from Lego’s

From Play Stations and Trampolines

I am from the sports events everyday

Blue, sleepy, smells like chocolate

I am from oak trees

That cover the sky above

I’m from Christmas Eve presents and corny jokes

From Griff and Courtney

I’m from the nightly movies and weekend baseball tournaments

From stranger danger and don’t run with scissors

I’m from Sunday church, that last years

I’m from Paducah and Franklin, Kentucky

Chicken, samon

From Eme playing with dolls and always wearing goggles

The Griff running wild

Pictures on the living room wall

The memories that will last forever
