I Am From Poem

​

I am from America’s hometown with the rock that says “1620”

I am from the Cape Cod Canal and busy traffic rotaries

 

I am from a former summer cottage full of love and grandparents

I am from a twin bed, a plastic desk and countless Disney VCR’s

 

I am from a life-size Barbie dollhouse, swing sets, and swimming pools

I am from annual family Christmas parties and summer weeks spent in Harwich, Cape Cod

 

I am from rainbow Christmas lights and blue hydrangeas

I am from the salty ocean smell and freshly brewed coffee

 

I am from Grandpa’s French toast and Grandma’s brownies

I am from the Swedish blonde hair and blue eyes

 

I am from “follow your heart” and “just do your best”

I am from Nina and Papa, not Mom and Dad

 

I am from my grandparents
