The Boat Ride of Life
I am from the birch trees covered in snow
With a fire popping in the fireplace.
I am from warm blankets, s'mores, and a happy cottage.
I am from Papa J’s-
2 large pizzas, one with ham, one with pepperoni
Marinara on the side
And 20 minutes late.
I am from TV's and phones
And Sunday night football.
I hail the Spartans and
Cherish cheering crowds.
I am from lakes and boats and sunshine
With too much sun and peanuts.
I am from late night tubing,
Sunscreen,beach towels,and camper pies.
I am from the field to the pool
Ticking clocks and wet hair
Cherish the smell of chlorine.
I am honest, caring, and helpful.
I expect the most out of others
And even more out of myself
I am from love and happiness
A family who never gives up.
I work hard,play hard,
And love even harder.
I am my very best
Doing what I love and loving what I do.
I am me
