Where I'M From

I am from the Holy
From the bible and the small but unique church
I am from the three storied building on decent street
I am from the daisies but mixed slightly with cactus
I'm from faith and be a leader

I am from Rosetta and James
I am from good hair and the coca cola shape
From "Go do this, go do that"
Come right back and stay prayerful
I'm from, "He's blessed me
Whether it's big or small" but with great meaning

I'm from Florida, born in O.T.
Fried chicken and homemade beef stew
From the gash my sister got from playing
To the sprang ankle my brother got while playing b-ball
Sitting in the living room are three special albums
Albums of memories and special events of course
Photos of beautiful faces

Some of who are barely seen
Then those who are gone with the Lord
I am from those moments
All in which are leading me to the path of my dreams
Leading me with a sense of mind
to search and not be blind.
