I am from…..
I am from Raggedy Ann, from Cambell’s Chicken Noodle Soup and Hostess Ding Dongs.
I am from the 130 year old two story house with zinnias on the kitchen wallpaper and orange/brown/yellow/white long shag carpet in the den.
I am from the zoysia grass, the dogwood tree.🧵

I am from long legs, and little league, from Mary Lou and Jack and the great aunts and uncles.
I am from the too smart for our own good and too funny for everyone else’s.
From “Stand up straight.” and “Bread’s done!”
I am from singing in the choir and laughing in the gym.
I’m from Gram’s pumpkin pie, and Mom’s meatloaf.
From the teenage car crashes, the public library, the school plays,
and the divorce.
I am from the Deacon’s bench, and the console stereo, and the green hutch holding all our faces and hearts.
