Where I’m From with thanks to George Ella Lyon
I am fron Ohio, from Cleveland and Strongsville.
I am from the big tan house with the maroon shutters.
I am from the sun flowers and apple trees.
I am from Easter egg hunts and long brown hair, from Mark and Renee and Zachary.
I am from the wild and crazy.
From doing what i set my mind to and if I eat a watermelon seed one will grow in my belly.
I am from not going to church on Sundays, but spending time with my family.
I’m from Ohio and Tennessee, stuffed shells and pineapples.
From the time I went to Tennessee with my cousin Steph and lied to my momma and told her it was raining to hard to drive home just so we could stay the night and spend the day in Nashville, the time I skipped school to go shopping with my momma and the time I went to Niagara Falls with my daddy.
I am from the family pictures on the walls, the cookouts in the summer and the long days of fishing with my daddy.
