I am from Paint brushes and pencils
From Cavender boots and summer dresses
I am from the garden me and my mom planted together
Bright colorful flowers
I am from the blue ocean waves
I’m from Christmas lights and Sunday dinners
From Lesslie and Garrett
I’m from family game nights and movies
From “life is unfair” and “that’s the way the cookie crumbles”
I’m from Austin Texas and Ireland
From homemade bread, hot from the oven with melted butter
I’m from stories of my grandfather picking up trash to earn .25 cents to go swimming in the quarry
From the painting and beautiful art, my grandmother taught me to do
I’m from the fireplace mantle filled with pictures of people I love in special memories
