Where Im From

By P.S.D. I am from where Buckingham Palace stands proud, From Big Ben towering over. Im from twinkling blue eyes and pale skin. From being christened and playing endless rounds of cards. I am from the scattered islands and swaying palm trees. From the humidity and refreshing caribbean sea. Im from swimming and days on the boat, From sunburns and salty sea air. I am from kicking thick wooden boards in our Dojang, From gracefully leaping across the dance floor. I am from loving animals and taking care of pets.

From annually skiing, speeding down the slopes. I am from Christmas in January. From take care of the edges while the middle takes care of itself. I am from the rhyming lines of The Dog and the Bee, from the mystical verses of the Jabberwocky. I am from zooming behind dinghies, Improving my wakeboarding and water skiing skills. From being the bridesmaid for my aunt and uncle. I am from cooking delicious meals for my family, From tie dying pancakes to learn the primary colours. Safely stored in photo albums,

Are pictures of the good times and bad, That are stuck with me forever. I am from those moments that make me who I am.
