I come From

I come from
A loving, caring family
I come from
A place where everyone cares about themselves
I come from
Two high school sweethearts
I come from
A woman who was just as feisty as me
I come from
A hardworking man
I come from
A family who sings
I come from
A family who comes together to eat every holiday
I come from
A neighborhood where the ice cream truck came down daily
I come
A place where we go to church every Sunday
I come from
A divorced husband and wife
I come from
A woman who I will never see again
I come from
Baking cookies with a grandmother every Christmas
I come from
A place of no return
I come from
A neighborhood where gun shots were heard
I come from
A place where the best is expected
I come from
A place of forgiveness
I come from
A generation where technology has taken over
I come from
The birth of songs like Booty Me Down, Bounce It, and Wop
A place where single mothers and fathers rule
I come from
The degrading of women
