Where I'm from

Endless waves of snow making the picture somber but the moment that rare gem entered the world sunshine flooded bringing warmth and a new beginning.
A perfect duplicate of the original, personality and all.
From a home of people that always had company and never had an empty moment.
Where commonsense was a must and manners, especially outside in the world, were never lost or punishment was in your near-future.
Small children knocking on the door at all times of the day, asking for their friend to come play.
Where a green murky swamp located across the street was your forbidden playground, skipping across rocks thinking you’re invincible from falling.
Reality quickly comes back as you slip followed by a deep cut, having to hide the shame from your guardians, pour peroxide and cover it with a band aid.
Places I’ve never seen have always filled the list but will be crossed off in time.
A land of dreams that never die but only grow bigger with every success and milestone.
