I Am From……..                          

I am from Michigan lakes and open fields

 and vases filled with beautiful red flowers.

I am from photo albums and picture frames

filled with awards and ribbons.

I am from rakes in the yard

       and bird feeders hanging in the trees

to bird baths in the yard.

I am from parks down the road to

the basketball courts by the park.

I am from the Reynolds tree,

  from Amy to Jewel.

I am from “If you can’t say anything nice than

don’t say anything at all.”

I am from deviled eggs and

home made mashed potatoes

I am from ham and turkey and pumpkin pie.

I am from journal entries and attic boxes

and treasures hidden in between my mattress and box spring.
