Started on a tight, gravel road in a small subdivision

In a house that is the size of a classroom.

 In a city that is home to 500,000.

Milwaukee.


Moving onto a wide, friendly road, into a bigger subdivision

Into a house that makes the old house looks like the size of a pea.

 In a small town.

Merton.


Moving onto a wide and friendliest road yet.

Into the biggest subdivision.

Into a house that is brand new made to how we want it.

 Moving into a village.

Hartland.


Moving down this road to one after another learning what could be next

The road to today is more than just houses.

My family kept adding to it on this road. 

From just my parents,

To adding two kids,

Then adding three more.

Family.


From starting at birth to now almost being 18 and my brothers not far behind 

My parents growing older as they see the people we are trying to find. 

Us growing as we share the things we begin to find.

Growing.
