**Where I'm from- Inspired by George Ella Lyon**

**I am from fiction,** **from fantasy and heat,** **I am from Shayna's coat,** **(Black, white, cocoa,**  **she shelters me.)** **I am from the swim team pool,** **with icy cold waters,** **which I go to every morning in summer,** **and leave great memories of friendship.**

**I am from brownies and puppies,** **with trust and laughter.** **I'm from the coldness of my bed,** **and all the stars of the night,** **from “Go to sleep,” and “Quiet down!”**

**I am from Cinnamon,** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**and chocolate chips too,** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**and many sweets I love to eat.**

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**I am from Christmas,** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**from Evergreen and Pine.** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**From my many broken bones,** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**healed with a cast.** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**From the tumor that cost Benson his life.**

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**I am from moments,** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**shared with laughter and friends,** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**I am from daydreams,** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**filled with clouds and sunshine.** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**I am from memories,** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**All about me.**
