Where i am from

1

I am from mowed grass and tall trees 2

swaying from the breeze in the spring. 3

I am from my cousins and I rolling down a large hill 4

in the summer.5

I am from a leafy front yard I the fall, 6

from raking the leaves into large piles 7

and jumping in them.8

I am from a white snowy ground in the winter, 9

from snowball fights and eating snow cream.10

I am from because I said so 11

and what goes around comes around.12

I am from aggressive and gentle people.13

I am from Christianity and no sex before marriage,14

(even though we all make mistakes).15

I am from Bible studies, and Sunday meetings at the Kingdom Hall, 16

from laughing and having fun.17

I am from marble like floors and marble like cabinets, 18

(black, shiny like ebony)19

I am from animal lovers and animal haters.20

I am from entertaining everyone on rainy days 21

with funny songs and family stories.22

I am from singer and athletes, 23

from workers and cleaners.24

I am from poets and writers, 25

from swimmers and divers.26

I am from the wrap it ups 27

and the let it go’s.28

I am from name brand shoes and clothes, 29

from K-Swiss and South Pole.30

I am from expensive computers and luxury cars, 31

from Dells and Tahoes.32

I am from those moments where we stick together, 33

from where we all take a picture 34

so it will last a little longer  35

    I like the fact that you opened up about how family can be a mix of things...And allowing yourself space to admit wrong doing and room for growth.*o) Mel74

    It's a nice story-poem, with a sort of normal world in it, but you also masked it by perfectness, at least that's what I got from it.
    I think it would have been better if you hadn't used parenthasese, but only because of the flow of the story-poem did I find that a problem.
    Over all it was pretty good.
