You are fresh cut grass,

the sweet smell of summer and warmth

that calms my nerves

You are a white tee

simple, but pairing well with anything

You are the bold, blue truck

nothing can stop your roaring engine

like a warhorse ready for battle

You are Dollar Tree reading glasses

cheap at times

but can never truly be broken

You are the basement

the support of the house

what holds us all together

You are the broken couch

soft, warm and comforting

yet extremely strong and supportive

You are Jalepiño Cheddar Potato Skins-

with every bite, spicy, sweet and savory

something I can never get enough of

You are the lake

calm waves gently washing over the rocks

a comforting place I like to call

home 

You are Dad

the building block

that has molded me into the

strong young woman

I am today
