Where I'm From
I am from long car rides
From snack stops and potty breaks
I am from mud pies and devine mud desserts
I am from strong oak trees;
Falling into leaf piles
From mischief and up to no good;
Throwing rocks into the streets
I'm from chasing ice-cream trucks
Grandma's homemade desserts;
Pumpkin pie, peanut butter fudge, cheesecake
I'm from fish filled lakes, bug filled woods, and fun filled adventures
Spoiled; first child, first granddaughter on both sides
I'm from lemon sukers at Meijer
From Icee's at 7/11
From Dairy Park and Lickety Splits
Long walks with cousins
From racing around the block
I'm from Disney Channel, Webkinz, and Bratz
Rocky drive ways, sandy yards, fish ponds, and kiddy pools
I'm from hours on the computer writing
From the neighbors eight dogs waking me up on the weekends
Riding four wheelers, riding bikes, racing scooters
From long days playing in the tree house
Being dragged in sleds, snowball fights, ice fishing, snowmobiling
From places I will re-visit
School that gave me hope
From friends I never see anymore
Programs that made me who I am today
People I'll never forget
From crazy memories and adventures;
To bloody, injuries, and hospital trips
I am from memories that I'll never forget
