My Where I'm from poem

Where I'm from

       I am from quilts. Old lanterns and soda. 

    I am from a middle town house. Pasty white. 

                   

          I am from honeysuckles and the maple in my backyard.    

whose limbs long gone I remember. As if they were my own.

I'm from Caroline and Jeffery's.
I'm from singing and laughing too loud
from working hard and getting by

I'm from sit up! and chew quietly.
and you're only as tall as your heart will let you be.
I'm from taking long drives.

I'm from a small place in a big world.
potatoes and roast.
from group hugs with my 8 bestest friends.
and laughing till I lose my balance.

I'm from my keepsake box under my bed.
I'm from the origami he always makes me.
And the pictures I still have.
This  is where I'm from. ♥
