Where I'm From
Where I’m From
By: Sophia
I am from sucking ice on hot days on the deck with mom
to baking with mom and my little sister Claire with me and dad taste testing;
from eating baby carrot meals with dad and Claire
to begging dad for delicious, mashed potatoes with gravy for dinner.
I am , “ Hi Bored. I’m dad. Nice to meet you”
to Baby Beluga at night to calm us down;
from dad teasing me and playing board games with family
to “Remember I always love you with, all my heart and soul”.
I am from rocking Giant Baby to sleep and pretending to feed her
to dancing to Taylor Swift with friends;
from riding on the back of mom's bike to Harry's Foods
to roller skating and biking to school in the summer.
I am from jumping in puddles, blowing bubbles, and rainy-day walks
to walking to the mailbox with Claire;
from visiting the flower garden and picking wildflowers for mom
to playing and splashing in the pool, building sand castles, and dad throwing me in the pool
I am from waking mom and dad up at four in the morning on Christmas
to homemade Christmas dinner with all my family;
from always having pumpkin pie for breakfast after Thanksgiving
to visiting Nana for sleepovers.
I am home!
