Where I'm From

February 28, 2024

I am from that childhood playground


From that small yellow house and the windy outdoors


I am from the ragged rags holding the hot pot


Determined, Focused, a small bouncy basketball


I am from the red roses


Smooth and Buttery


I’m from the birthday cakes and apple orchard pickings


From Mom and Dad


I’m from the Norwegian food and Toblerone


From Sleep tight and Sleep the whole night


I’m from Christianity, going to church


I’m from Woodbury and german genes 


BBQ baby back ribs, and mama’s food


From the early mornings with dad playing sports
