Where Am I From

I am from love and hate 
From happy and sad 
I am from the romances and pain 
I feel the warm of the sun to the smell of the rose 
I am from the red rose
The beauty of the rose that brings people together   


I am from singing song and dancing 
From Erene and Richard 
I am from running and skipping
And from baseball 


I am from fat and eating a lot 
And singing ABC
I am from Christmas 
I am from Mandeville and church 
Rice and chicken
From joy and happiness 
Scrapbook in boxes to darkest under the bed

The truth welcomes all of the facts. Here is one for you, friend: If we are all here and woke up whole this morning today, we are all miracles, with clean hands. We are the only ones; to make, and keep them dirty. Our Creator's Love Forgives; gives; forever lives; so should we; yes; why not us?
