Who I really am?
Who I really am?
 
 I am from Magnolia trees,
 From seesaws that creak,
 I am from broke down cars,
 And alligators in a country pond,
 I’m from apple jelly cakes,
 Pineapple banana pudding,
 Hot sauce on fried chicken, and
 Cheesy ramen noodles.
 I am from one eyed teddy bears,
 Plastic hot pink stick on nails,
 and books of ol’ time poems.
 I am from the generation of
 Johnnie Rucker, Fat, 
 and Louis.
 I’m from the memories
 of the deceased
 reddish brown hair like granny
 prominent fingers like Auntie
 and a molded figure like ma.
 I am from cotton picking, 
 grain whacking,
 Church singing, 
 country folks.
