I am from coffee mugs 

left out in the morning. 

From dog toys 

laying around the house.

I am from a house

that loves honey crisp apples.

From a house 

with bumps and bruises.

I am from a family 

with many scars.

From a family

split in two.

I am from a family 

that has dad on speed dial.

From a family 

that has Christmas in January.

I am from a family 

that has a dog barking in the house. 

From a family 

that has Christmas Eve at Brittany’s house.

I am from a house 

where the birds chirp outside windows.

From a house 

where birthday cakes are a must.

I am from a family 

of giving Mother’s Day cards.

From a family 

of giving Father’s Day cards. 

I am from a family 

where everyone loves each other. 

From a family 

where loving is a must.
