Where I'm From

by Unknown


I am from chicken

Tamales

And hamburgers

Simmering slowly on the stove



I am from the heat and the sun

Beating down on me from high in the sky

While I play sports



I am from pencils,

Paper

And crayons

All working together to make a story



I am from a backyard

With swings,

Slides

And a sandbox

Playing all day long



I am from the bright blue water

Pulling me in the ocean

While I swim in the shallow shore
