Where I'm From Poem
I am from hairspray
From braces and rubberbands.
I am from lightning bugs
Fluttering in the summer night sky.
I am from Belle
The cute little puppy
We rescued from the pound
And Smoky the cat
Whose death still touches my heart.
I am from Papaw’s goulash
And Momma’s pumpkin pie
From Dad’s overbearing
Protectiveness of his little girl.
I am from outrageous
Eleven foot Christmas trees
And joyous Thanksgiving feasts.
I am from French immigrants
From 1692 and New Paltz, New York
I am from Louis Bevier and Marie Le Blanc.
I am from the American dream
From broken despair and gained hope
I am the present, past, and future,
History in the making.
Where I'm From
Where I’m From
By Scott
I am from Texas
where deep in the heart lies Austin.
I am from the sunny Saturday afternoons
of Texas Longhorn football games.
I am from sports
and the lessons that I learn from these games
I play with all my ability and enjoy the victories.
I am from my family, friends,
and awesome food.
I am from my grandmother’s warm pies
and my parents’ cooking, from which
I grew to be a large boy.
I am from Texas barbeque
which smells and tastes like none other.
Although I cannot have it right now
I can still remember.
I am from Tennessee
where I live at the Foothills of the Smokies
and enjoy hiking on clear days.
I am from lessons in literature
and the sounds of a saxophone.
I am from the “try your hardest”
and “never give ups.”
I’m from my hard work
and the present as I continue on life’s journey.
