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

Its moving!!!
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.
