Where I Am From

I am from the log house on the hill
with the long driveway
lined with railroad ties and matching lights

I am from the four of a kind
that makes the house a home
from the pictures on the wall
to our the patio out back

I am from creating traditions
and breaking them
to making long lasting memories
and forgetting the embarrassing ones

I am from learning the basics
and standing my ground
to taking risks
and never regretting

I am from making people smile
and laughing just a little louder
to comforting a friend
and helping those in need

I am from hope
that someday I can strive
to be a better person
and to think about others before myself

I am from forgiving and forgetting
And loving and laughing
