I am from the garden city,
from grass, flowers, mud & dirt.
I’m from riding bikes and climbing trees,
sandcastles, parasailing, & the deep blue sea.
I am from teddy bears & unicorns,
Waking at 6 to watch dora & boots.
Sponge bob, teletubbies,
Powerpuff girls and Tom & Jerry.
I am from “Make your bed” & “Go practice clarinet,”
Getting grounded because I ‘read too much.’
I’m from staying up till 12 “working,”
In reality just listening to music & relaxing.
I am from wishing on stars,
And wanting the unattainable.
From “nothing is impossible”
And “Never give up.”
Where am I from?
I’m from the memories of my childhood,
The actions I take today,
And from my hopes and dreams for the future.
