Where I'm From [(Class Assignment from two years ago)]

I am from nature,
From Hot Topic and fantasy worlds.
I am from the scented, the flowered, the cozy.
I am from the oak, the rose, the puffy clouds,
The cactus, the daisy, the bubbling brook,
Care-free and happy.
I am from prayer and love, from Rich and Jen.
I am from the defensive and thoughtful,
From honesty and consideration.
I am from God and His love.
I am from Old America, turkey and pasta,
From the Polish immigrants, the artful.
Albums and scrapbooks
That keep memories alive;
Always fading, never truly gone,
The thrive through the years.
