I am from the neighborhood football
The cops and robbers
The long summer days playing in the woods right behind my house
The small circle at the neighborhoods dead end that was just a circle but in our heads it could be made into whatever our imaginations could make it

I am from the pretend army soldiers in World War 2
The sledding down the slope
The bike riders
I remember parents saying “Come inside it’s time for dinner!” and kids asking for five more minutes because it was close to bedtime and at this age it seemed so much more dramatic than it actually was.

I am from video games
The gamecube
The gameboy
The DS

Where I am from Friendships are made
Bruises, cuts, and scrapes are made
Smiles are made
Memories are made
