I Am From
I am from
writing forwards and backwards through time
the rustling leaves that move as the hushed wind whispers a call to adventure
composing a song, writing an inspiring piece or an awestruck work of art
the canvas like sky that changes throughout the day.
tea parties from dawn till dusk
family stories passed down from generation to generation
Christian Faith, Holy Bible, John 3;16
contagious laughter and happiness
a musical gifted family and varsity choir
rain drops that land on my nose and eyelashes
Germany, Sweden, America
the aroma of garlic, tomato sauce and pepper, from homemade spaghetti my mother cooks on special occasions
warm hugs and inspiring whispers my mom provides when I’m down
never ending love that comes from both sides of my family
But I am truly from the amazing family that God made me.

What a gorgeous picture. It really enhances your already gorgeous poem. I think my favorite line is the one you quote from Sound of Music!
