Where I Am From

I am from wood, from Irish spring and toberloom.

I am from the tall house on the hill by the swaying tree.

I am from the rose bush, and the oak tree.

I am from Mexican Train and talent, from Anthony and Amy and Bud.

I am from the caring and loving from be careful and call me when you get there.

I am from the heavens that watch above me.

I am from Cottonwood and Germany, milk and cookies.

From the back lot of MGM Studio where grandpa worked, and the training of the horses for the movies.

I am from Maui, where the breeze blows and the smell of flowers and the waves crashing on the shore.
