My lively hood

I’m from the white dining table, the paint fading away over time,
From the yellow dresser and the chandelier I always wanted to touch,
I am from a castle as tall as the sky, pillars touching the clouds,
And the bright light shining through the dull windows,

I am from the mighty oak tree, still standing after all these years
Whose limbs are like hands reaching down around me,

I am from my stuffy I slept with every night and my bed that has helped me drift into sleep,

From Schieck and Casteneda,

I am from laughter and kindness

From never giving up

I am from fun Saturday nights together, eating our desserts and watching movies

These are moments in my life I never want to forget.
