I am From the red house on the corner

from the tall thin pine trees wall-to wall

from the lavish lines in the floor from vacuums

to the sparkling floors

I am from the adventures

from speeding to get to Lapham Peak

to walking to the lake

I am from the hardships

from a marriage ending to a new beginning

to people leaving that I thought would stay

I am from fashionista’s

from the outfits I wear to school

to the creativity

to my shopping addiction

I am from a picture perfect house

from the quietness in the neighborhood

to the  baby bunnies and deers stopping by to say hi

to the red house on the corner
