Where I'm From

I am from the woods that were my playground, from peanut butter and freeze-pops.

I am from the yellow house with long driveway.

I am from the place where the grass grows high in the summer, the snow in the winter wipes it all away.

I am from holidays and birthdays and togetherness, from Josh and Jonathan and Leeper.

I am from the hill where all my relatives live and the dogs and other pets.

From academic success will lead to life success and love is stronger than anything else.

I am from a Methodist church.

I'm from Fairmont, WV, turkey and Klöße .

From the Aunt and brother who are in Florida, the grandfather I barely knew, and the grandmother I never had a chance to know.

I am from photo albums.
