RylieC-Where+I'm+From

 **Where I'm From**

 By RylieC~ Inspired by George Ella Lyon  2010

 I am from books  from sports  (swimming, tennis and golf)  from laughter  I am from the water  lakes, oceans and pools  I am from the backyard  the grass and trees  and the dirt and rocks.

 I am from spaghetti and meatballs  from good-smelling laundry detergent  from the wild-ones  and the wise-ones <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> I am from business <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> title insurance and housing <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> I am from flight attendants <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> from good cooks <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> from animal lovers.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> I'm from hamburgers on the grill <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> from cookies and milk <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> from open heart surgery <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> and hip replacements.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> I am from family, <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> from smiles and hugs <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> from memories galore <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> all of them trying to pull back to life.
