I am from water, from clorox wipes and clean kitchens
I am from the red house at the top of the hill
I am from roses, thorns and all
I am from rainbow trout and sunny beaches, from Melissa and Peter
I am from the warmth and need a hug?
from the naughty and nice list and lets go for a ski
I am from baptisms and crosses
I am from maple Syrup and cheddar cheese from dels lemonade and pasta and sauce
From dark night crab hunts, walking with the boy of a thousand flashlights
miles of undiscovered beach ahead.
I am from all that has once surrounded me.
