I Am From

By: Anthony Esterly

I am from a place
Where there are wide open spaces,
Where it is quiet,
Where all you can here is the breeze,
And where my neighbor cuts his grass every Friday.

I am from a place
Where there is an album of favorite relatives,
Where Ma Maw says your eyes are bigger than your stomach,
Where I play football with my brother every Saturday,
And where I play with my dog Dakota.

I am from a place
Where there are workers working behind our trailer,
Where my dog barks at her toy,
Where my sister screams my ears off,
And where I have the best time.
I love the place where I am from.
