Where I'm From Poem


I am from Mesquite Texas and time spent on the family farm in East Texas driving dirt roads, pastures, and tractors. 


I am from a family of people I shared moments with. Moments with my parents, two brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. 

I am from scenes of a farm, church, school, singing competitions, musicals.




I am from special moments with cousin camp, traveling with family, driving a tractor, fishing, walks in the country. A yearly trip to the State Fair of Texas.  Special times at church .

I am from smells of fresh air on the farm, chlorine in the pool, aqua net, grandmas house, skin so soft, farm fresh vegetables, cows, and hay. 

I am from the tastes of pot luck, burnt hotdogs, homemade vanilla ice cream, homemade biscuits, tea, and watermelon.

I am from the sounds of fresh spring, cows mooing, splashing at the pool, dogs barking, family talking, mowing, and grandparents praises, Friday night night TGIF. 

I am from family values, church, family time, southern rules , and friends.
