I’m from the big red apple
The tall green lady
Roaring subway
Shaking her way through the city
I’m from splashing water slides
Refreshing beaches
And dusty sand-covered feet

I’m from five,
Three and two.
Meatball, “the champ”
Michael and I
Frenemies for life
Lastly
Loving mom and dad

I’m from a big table of people
And sloppy folded pizza
Oozing on your plate
BBQ dripping from your mouth
Sliding down and staining your clothes

I’m from where
“Life is not fair,”
But a true classic
“Treat hate with LOVE.”
