"I am From", by Andrew S. Copyright © 2000, Age 14
I am from elusive roads to ice-sickled houses.
From corn fields as far as the eye can see.
Seashells prickling at your toes.
I am from frozen moment on the white plaster of my two story house.
Airborne balls to swishes of a net.
From ear-burning whistles to ten second pins.
I am from 1+1 to 6 times 10.
From torture and famine to unbelievable victories.
Migrating Checks to Shennadoah, Iowa.
I am from tears of joy to tears of sorrow.
Ancestry hicks to modern day public schools.
From rememberable assassinations to forgetful tornadoes.
From Nebraska Huskers to Georgia Bulldogs.
I am from lousy mistakes to practice makes perfect.
Screaming voices with no patience.
From speeding down black tar marked with yellow lines.
I am From broken bones to many stitches.
From funny tricks to detention slips.
A loving mother who loves to talk.
From caring dad who doesn't except excuses.
I am from scared moments to courageous actions.
From Break-ups to make-ups.
Neighborhood football championships to Rec League baseball championships.
I am from snowy bobsledding to drifting down snow topped hills.
From PB&J for lunch to Ryan's for dinner.
Grandpa's cinnamon rolls that melt in your mouth to great recipes from the south.
I am from rap music to gospel soul.
From cross-country running to record time sprints.
I am from photos of star athletes plastered on my bedroom wall.
High school coach to math teacher.
From precious presents beneath the Christmas tree.
I am from the Swanson's.
