Where I’m from…
I am from wash rags,
From dish soap and pans.
I am from the pile of wood behind the house.
(Normal logs had the aroma of rotten eggs.)
I am from the blue bonnets,
The oak tree
What was once my playscape
As if it was my jungle gym.
I am from sam which photos and blonde hair
From Liana and Joe Bob
I’m from eating together and being ajar
And from learning together.
I’m from working diligently and no eating grass
And honesty is the best policy.
I’m from Family Heirlooms.
I am from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Leander, Texas
And from Cajun Chicken Pasta and Corn chip tacos.
From a remarkable dad
The most obnoxious but caring person on this planet
I am from those moments-
The laughing, the crying, and everything else-
All in four walls
