I am from

burnt wood, sawdust,

barefoot feet across hardwood floors,

graduation parties and family picnics.

From method laundry detergent, dryer sheets,

Dog food.

From crying eyes,

And faces no longer made up



I am from

Homemade mac & cheese,

Dickey’s Barbeque Pit,

Jumbo deluxe pizzas with Giant salads and house Italian dressing,

And butter burgers with cheese.

From breakfast with Daddy,

Cheese cake,

And key lime pie.



I am from

Faversham park,

Water World on Labor Day,

University Hospital

From the Williams house,

Ice cream Fridays,

Elvis Cinemas, and the dollar store.

From heros

And friends,

And a huge adoptive family,

With aunt, uncles, brothers, and sisters,

And parents worldwide



I am from

"Daddy can I?"

"Go for it"

And "remember me always"

From "you are special to me,"

"You are my favorite girl."

From "good to see you"
