Where I'm From

I am from the Carty's,
from wow your tall and do you play sports?
I am from the tall olive tree with the tire swing,
(until my parents cut it down.)
Im from luncamh with the family in the back yard,
from chips on our sandwhich.
I am from staying in your bathing suit all day in summer,
from long naps with my mommy.
I am from family over all the time just to hang.

I am from Cherokee, Sioux, and Apache,
from strong family heritage and love.
I am from the south, west, east, and north,
from Tennessee to Cali.
I am from the windows and winders,
from the wash and warsh.
I am from soccer balls to volleyballs,
from a family of baseballs, footballs, and basketballs.

I am from the Go Fords!! and screw Chevys,
from granpa working on his old cars all day.
I am from holding memories in boxes under my bed,
from bad times but more of the good.
I am a reflection of where I am from.
