I am From…
I am from the fields of grass surrounding my home
The rolling hills in Chinook Estates, and the bookshelves
Filled with undiscovered books.
I am from the musty cabinet filled with board games,
Anxiously waiting for my parents to wake up on Christmas
Morning, and trips to Brazil to visit tia (Aunt) Flor.
I am from “skiwampas” (Leon’s favorite made up word) and, “keep your back Strait!”
I am from rice and beans my mom makes for dinner,
The sizzling stir fry that tickles my taste buds, and the
Bubbling lentil stew that is one of my favorite dishes.
I am form Grandma Presset’s love – which will stay with me forever, my hunting buddy uncle Doug and uncle Kenton’s gigantic movie room.
I am from ten years of family life, and a future that is yet to be discovered.
