I Am From

I Am From

I am from Warm Light

From Tide and Dawn

I am from the White Cozy

I am from the Bee Balm

The Oak whose long gone limbs I remember

I’m from Holiday Dinner and Determination

From my daughters Raven and Kelly

I’m from Pancakes and Coffee

And an occasional Family Party

I am from Eat Your Dinner and Clean Your Room

And Your Dad Will Be Home Soon

I’m from Family Reunions

I’m from Barstow California and the British Isles

From Potato Salad and Spaghetti Italian Style

From Mom and Dad and their many Family Members

From Baby Pictures on the wall that make us Remember
