I am from my bed
warm and comfy
like a hot summer day

I am from coffee brewing
in the mornings
and late morning crepes

I am from
“ARCHIE! Stop barking!!”
and “I’m hungry!”

I am from
my first stuffed animal
old and tattered

I am from
the smell of burning candles
from Hannukah

I am from
my country house
old but bold

I am from
the smell of flowers
from my overly crowded garden

I am from
my sister
never smiling for pictures

I am from
Mom and Dad quiet, Archie and Molly
always loud
