"Be miserable. Or motive yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice." -Wayne Dyer


The sun that sparks a twinkle in my Mother’s brown eyes --
Her beauty emanates through the solar system.
The brightness of my Mother’s beauty
Is where I come from.

The wind that rustles the leaves in a swirl of laughs --
My father’s jokes echo through the light air.
The joyfulness of my father’s jokes
Is where I come from.

The grass that brushes against bare feet
And branches broken in callused hands --
My brother’s adventurous spirit bursts through the woods.
The boldness of my brother’s spirit
Is where I come from.

The swing that hangs idly in the atmosphere --
My brother’s questioning nature lingers through the night.
The curiosity of my brother’s mind
Is where I come from.

The sunflowers that stand united in a field --
My best friend’s devotion stands strong through the storm.
The dependability of my best friend’s character
Is where I come from.

The rain that washes away the worry of a drought --
My boyfriend’s reassurance rises through the cloudy skies.
The comfort of my boyfriend’s presence
Is where I come from.

The rock that refuses to move in a harsh river --
My God’s forgiveness holds strong through all my mistakes.
The knowledge of my God’s love
Is where I come from.
