Where I'm From

Where I’m From

I am from giant bubble blowing

To extreme slides

From obstacle courses

And hopscotch

I am from older cousin best friends

To inheriting new things

From Barbie Dolls to clothes

And helpful advice

I am from kolaches and rholikies

To Indian Tacos

From homemade ice cream and Angel food cake

And croissants with butter

I am from Rice Krispy Bars

To Lemonade

From Nutty Bars

And Mr. Pibb

I am from the 6 on 6 game

To scraped, sweaty knees

From jumping higher than the net

And the perfect bump, set, spike

I am from running up and down the court

To quick footsteps and dribbling

From boxing out and reaching for the ball

And making the right shot

I am from jumping over the hurdles

To landing in the sand with three jumps

From making it over the bar

And getting the hand off to the next person

I am from playing tips

To Kick the Can

From Hide and Seek
To card games

I am from moments that are quite different

To normal things

From sad times

And great moments
