I Am From
I am from…green grass, smelly cleats
and soccer balls.
Parents carpooling, watching my games, and cheering me on.
I am from…Girl Scout camp, camp MacKenzie,
and summer dirt piles.
Song competitions, campfire stories, and adventuring with best-friend brothers.
I am from…camping trips, family holidays
and dinners on Sunday.
Bouncy balls thrown overboard, my uncles , and watermelon in our salad.
I am from…rollerblading, biking
and Heeles.
Skateland dice game, biking on the bugline, and hanging with my best friend Liv.
I am from…my grandpa’s cancer, my parents’ divorce
and my cousins who moved to Arizona.
Thinking back on boat rides and pet bunnies, moving to a new home, and 1,840 miles apart.
Yet, I am still from…green grass, smelly cleats
and soccer balls.
Parents carpooling, watching my games, and cheering me on.
