Where I'm From

©

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2016 with permission of the Author.

I'm from rifles,
From footballs and shotguns.
I'm from the dirt and grass on my farm,
From the four wheeler that I can still remember
The sound of the motor.

I'm from the outdoors and hunting,
From football and baseball,
From Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry.
I'm from Ratchet and Clank.

From rip sticks and scooters
And toy swords and shields.

In my garage there has always been
A dirt bike or four wheeler.
I'm from getting up early to eat breakfast
With the local farmers and my grandpa.

I'm from toy tractors and model cars,
From the farmers and hunters.
I went/go to a Christian church
With all the local farmers.

From the hard working family,
I'm from the country songs
Like Jason Aldean and Eric Church,
From riding in tractors every day
After preschool ended.

From the Legos and
Action figures to the toy trucks
And cars.
I'm from going to work with my dad
To after school with my mom.

I'm from my mom's
Softball games.
I'm from going to the
Movies with my friends.

I played flag football and won
The Pumpkin Bowl twice.
I was the Steelers
And Chiefs.

I'm from playing catch
with my brother.

I'm from getting the
chicken basket at Dairy Queen
And the cookie dough blizzard
From the Coca-Cola drinkers.

This is where I'm from.
