I am from my bunk bed in my room
From my two dogs at my house
I am from a crawfish catching family
I am from my favorite video game waiting for me after school
I am from Grandma and Grandpa’s house
And from my mom saying “do your homework”
And playing tag with my friends
I am from the fig tree I used to climb
Whose figs ripen every July and August
And from the pumpkin pie and biscuits and gravy on family gatherings
I am from those moments when peaceful waterfalls
come down the North Carolina mountains
