Where I Am From By CJ I am from my curious dogs, Gracie and Chow I am from many stacks of messy letters on table tops. I am from the blooming magenta tree, and the many yellow tennis balls sprawled around our backyard I am from the hidden chirping crickets in the dark-green, patchy grass I am from tall-standing basketball hoops simply sitting in the neighbors sidewalks I am from smooth, silent cars cruising by in the dark I am from uncle Billy, and Steve, aunt Ann, Elizabeth, Lizabeth and Bunny I am from my teenage cousins Tara, Kevin, Jimmy, Deanna, Michelle and Ashley and the other cousins Chris, Christene, Jennifer, and Jeannette I am from Grandma and Grandpa Coyle and Grandpa Cazel the golfer I am from "go to bed", "off like a heard of turtles" and "lets blow this popsicle stand" I am from home made mashed potatoes, cranberries and turkey the warm, yummy rolls set in the thin plastic bowl I am from big brown boxes stuffed with all my old toys I am from blue storage tubs full of large printed books I am from lots of laughs, a whole bunch of joy and a world of love |
