Where Im From

I am from everything,
from water and air.
I am from the land that my ancestors settled.
I am from hard work,
dedication
whose drive reminds me of myself.
I am from love and laughter, from joy and excitement.
Im from silly ones and serious ones,
from good times and bad. Im from happy moments and sad.
Im from German and Irish decent. From Cars and Red Hair.
From the migration of my precursors
to the support from my parents through my journey. The mountains and
valleys I had to face.
an interesting ride
that made me realize my reason.
I am from those timeshandling them the best I canthat made me who I am today.
