I am from bare feet 
From grass stains and skinned knees 
I am from the country side 
Windy, open, free 
I am from the swing-set 
Which launched me into the air to touch the sky 
 
I am from camping and lakes 
From cousins and more cousins 
I’m from s’mores and glow-stick parades 
And from campfires and childhood stories 
 
I am from fun and laughter 
From Disney and Pixar movies 
I’m from Johnny Test and Scooby-Doo 
From iCarly and Victorious 
 
But, most of all, I’m from mom and dad 
From trips to the gas station for packaged donuts 
From movie nights with popcorn 
And gazing at the stars
