I am from family,
always help each other out,
I am from cookouts under the starry night sky,
I am from working hard.
not letting anything stop you
or get in your way
no matter what.
 
I'm from brownies and dogs,
from spring flowers blooming in the garden.
I'm from playing football with cousins
and always winning,
snowball fights and freeze tag.
I'm from helping others
before you think about yourself.
 
I'm from Barney and Elmo,
always making me sing.
From my grandpa
who fought in war.
 
Behind the chairs are pictures,
the memories of me,
moments of joy and of woe,
dreams last for no one to know.
Memories of all my family,
together,
happy to see each other.
