Where I’m From

I am from the feel of a brand-new book
From Taylor’s Version and Hogwarts
I am from the culdesac
Books and blankets on a rainy day
From Christmas tree-scented candles
I am from tulips from the Netherlands
From Juneau and Sitka
I’m from cheering for the Astros
Navy and orange
I’m from laughter and smiles
Bookshelves and pumpkin bread
I’m from pencil against paper
Sitting by the fireplace
I am from soccer and baseball
Spending all day outside
Being called in after a long day
Hot tea in a steaming mug
From taking walks in the Greenbelt
Running to beat Dad home
I am proud to be from my family
