I am from the heat
From the warm and hot days of summer
I am from staying Indoors all day
(fan on max speed
Trying to stay cool)
I am from good cooks
And food
With smells that fill the whole house
And waiting till it’s put on my plate.
* I am from hot wings and smoked ribs
From cookies and cake
I am from the “you’re so smart”
And the “my little book worm”
From be quiet and speak up
I’m from the family who laughs,
has a good time,
And smiles when we are together
I’m from New York and California
Pizza and BBQ
From the fur of the rabbit
Who I won at the county fair
From the grip of shiny metal
From the last call of my grandpa
As my dad flew to New York.
These are the thing of
Where I’m from
