Where I am From
February 8, 2016
I am from a swing set
From stuffed animal and a small bedroom
I am from distant seas
And short winters
I am from banana trees
Whose branches served as my own personal jungle gym
I am from a small crib and swimming pools
From Tracie and Lonny
I am from love and adventure
And from independence
From destiny
I am from floatable items to help me swim
I am from O'Neal and a King
From Irish potatoes and Oranges
From travel
And from building a business
Wandering
I am from those.moments when love and adventure help you through tough times

This is a very unique poem not like any thing else. It is different because you can compare it to other poems and see how they're similar and different.
The Where I'm from poem doesn't have a rulebook it is who you are.
