I Am From…
I am from a happy place,
From playing with the dog to reading a book.
I am from the welcoming white home,
The smell of that nights dinner on the stove
And the warm fulfillment feel of a complete family.
I am from palm trees and purple flowers,
With the green grass growing tall
Along the little white fence with my handprints
Trailing along throughout my life.
I am from family game nights,
Sitting around together with Clue and Rummy-cube
I am from Dori and Uri
To Taylor and even Elvis too.
I am from jam packed Saturdays
To lazy day Sundays
From running cross country
To just running around doing errands.
I’m from the tickle monster
To the tooth fairy
And even princesses too.
From the Wiggles
Growing up to Dancing With the Stars.
I’m from the small, sunny town of Boca Raton
From Ellen and Ann to Ben and Jay.
I’m from family times at Zilker Park,
Watching Redbox movies,
And cooking as a family (minus my sister).
I am from a loving place.
Where love is not just an imagination, yet a real thing.
I love this!!!!
Everyone knows the infamous tickle monster!!!!!! 😉
Did you know the next Maccabi games are going to be in Boca Raton? My cousin’s psyched about it! I really like the voice that shines through in this poem. Great job, Lily!
