I am from the lake in the backyard
From Kohl’s and Target,
I am from the garden alongside the garage,
I am from the apples in back
The pear tree in the neighbor’s yard.
I am from family get together for holidays
And the Schaefer smile,
From the Jacoby’s and Whites and Schaefer’s,
I am from the deer hunting family
And church on Christmas Eve,
From”eat you carrots Matt”
And “Drink your milk to be strong”,
I am from a mother you attended church weekly as a child.
I am from Hartland and Jacoby’s
From home made pizza and grilled hamburgers.
From stitches in my forehead,
The smell of Grandma’s house
The dog hair all over our house,
I am from family pictures on the refrigerator
And on top of the fireplace
