Where I'm From
By: Andrea Reynolds
I am from the mountain side,
country roads, and pretty lakeshores
I am from tom boy ways
riding motorcycles, dirtbikes, and
four-wheelers through mountains
I am from a man of many powerful words
who always push me not to be just good but to be great.
I am from a woman who gave me the world
and always had faith in me
I am from a family of ten
five brothers and five sisters
who are all very competitve
from playing basketball to football with the boys
I am from taking roadtrips
with my dad and brothers for footballl camps.
I am from tough love and whatever you do
do it your best.
I am from summer vacations
to family reunions with all the people i love.
the trips to Georgia and North Carolina to visit
The beautiful weather and the summer atompshere
The fresh fruits and southern fried food.
I am from love, courage,and happiness
Thanks Andrea! Some great lines and moments in here! The onlyt hing I would add is a bit of a concluding stanza, otherwsie, good!
