Where I’m From…

Posted on February 18, 2008. Filed under: Where I'm from? - Poem |

 I am from photographs, from Diet Coke and glitter. 

I am from the blue-skies and pansy laid gardens.

I am from the mistletoe, the freesia.

I am from the cookie baking and organization, from Becky, Bruce, and Curtis.

I am from the tardiness and generosity.

From “don’t let the bed bugs bite” and “don’t ever ever give up”.

I am from God and his son Jesus  Christ. My PYC church. 

I’m from Jacksonville, Florida and Central Michigan, popcorn and tater tots. 

From the tractor crawling baby Rachel, the hot rock jumping Dad and Allen, and mom the quilter.

I am from the Tetons, the Grand Canyon, Germany, Italy, San Francisco, Disney World, Chapel Hill and here in Boone country.

Thank you for sharing your words and a bit of you, Rachel! I hoped this writing helped you get in touch with you and “your people” so that you better understood those you were reading about.
From “don’t let the bed bugs bite” and “don’t ever ever give up” is my favorite line.
Thank you!
