Where I'M From

I am from the nicest woman I know,
from the ground against my feet.
I am from branches of trees,
leaf covered along with me.
I am from cartoons of Beauty and the Beast,
from the lakes and ponds by the sides of my family.

I am from watermelon and grandpa,
from Michelle and David.
Iam from trails in the woods,
from rainy days with no raincoat.
I am from a little white church,
and caring members.

I am from my loving family,
with great and bad memories,
that will linger in my head,
until the end of time.
I am from everything I care about.
