Where I'm From

By: Cat Harris 2007

I am from melting ice cream cones

from smiles and frowns

I am from my grandpa,

And "that look"

(the one when you did something bad,

but he'll never tell)

I am from the corner bookstore

On Main street

I am from "I told you so" and never ending sarcasm

From dads hard work and moms free spirit

I'm from movie lines and soft pink ballet slippers

From the tree house and swing in the backyard

I'm from crazy Canadians and creepy Italians

And "Munja" you're to skinny

I'm from National Cadet Competition and Civil Air Patrol

From midnight McDonald runs and cool summer nights

From the perfectly

Imperfect life and family that I love
