Home Is me
February 8, 2016
I am from the little mower behind my dad
from the Elmo and my blankie
I am from the blue bomber
and big red
I am from the jappanise maple
Whose limbs picked me up
I am from cherries and chicken nuggets
from Frankiewitcz and Galica
I am from empathy and intelligence
and from athletes
From skiing and snow
I am from Abraham Lincon and Don Galica
from manicotti and conoli
from West Point graduates
and from Al's first flight
to my magic forest in Cape Cod
I am from those moments
that make me
me

I hope people see that there is more to who you are then you think. It is not just what you have, weather you are rich or poor, but it is where you are from.
