I am From…

I am from sticky notes,
From Nerf guns and building blocks
I am from the tall ceilings and soft carpets.
I am from the bushes out front and the soaring cottonwood tree where all the owls live

I’m from Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas mornings,
From Tami and Bob
I’m from Easter egg hunts and Halloween nights
From bonfires on Saturday nights

I’m from “You are too little” and “good night”
From Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I’m from wake boarding
I’m from Austin and Ireland,
Dad’s burgers and Granny Pat’s Mac and Cheese

From my Brother breaking his leg badly while playing football,
From the pictures and art in the closet upstairs
