I am from soccer balls to bathing suits 

from running on Sand Dunes

till you can't run anymore 

I am from long nature walks with family

I am from hiking the mountains

To the scenic views and the smell of leaves on the ground 

I am from hanging out with friends till the sun goes down

I am from watching movies with family

Until we pass out 

I am from School wasting my time and teaching

stuff i'll never use 

I am from drinking out of a hose On a hot summer day

I am from the sizzling grill and playing with my

dog In my backyard 

I am from spending hours playing with my friends  

on the hot summer nights

When we would play until our parents wanted us home
