Where I’m From

I am from nature,
the flowers that beautify
the world
I am from summer
hanging out on the beach,
and summer camp

I am from hide and seek
with Raef and Lazlo
on a rainy day

I am from sports,
food, and treats
I am from family evenings
eating delicious dinner
I am from fun
with my family all day

I am from baking,
drawing, and writing
I am from far, and long vacations
traveling with family

I am from birthday parties,
and zoos
I am from doctors appointments,
and coming out alive
I am from learning
about family history

I am from picnics
in the park
and playing games with my
brothers
I am from dancing,
and soccer

I am from fish, and sharks
and the ocean water blue
I am from being here
with you
