Written February 2015

I am from Books

From Cheerios and Skittles

I am from the walls of my bedroom

turquoise and calming

It appears to be like diamonds

I from the blazing maple, with deep red

leaves shifting in the Autumn

the watermelons

and their spiraling vines echoing my personality

I'm from the reunions and blue eyes

from Kai and Sam

and Jitzidia

I'm from the good times in the backyard and

movies and board games...

From It's a beautiful day today and

you get whatchya get

I'm from coming unto Christ

reaching each day to come to him.

I'm from the SLC and The Willie Handcart Company

Sea Biscuits and Pink Stuff

From the trips to Nauvoo with my family

the funny faces my little brothers make

At family gatherings and home

I am from the dragons soaring majestically

into the setting sun, her pinky-orange rays

staining the cloudy sky in a luminescent glow
