I am from Warm Vanilla Sugar Scented Candles,
from Yankee Candle Company.
I am from the open windows and sunshine lovers,
with warm breezes that envelope me in their arms.
I am from the yellow daisies
The 'maple nut goody' tree
whose long limbs I remember
as if they were my own.
I'm from singing and laughing
from Pam and Joe.
I'm from sarcasm and creativity
from peak tanning hours and red popsicles.
from 'It's okay, Baby Girl',
and countless 'I love you's.'
I'm from building sandcastles with Brandon,
and "act like a lady, remember who you are,
and from have fun."
I'm from church every sunday,
with bedside prayers every night.
I'm from Raleigh with Pirates in my soul.
Hamburgers and Hotdogs,
from the special olympics in the backyard.
The pictures hugging the walls
don't capture half of the fun we've had
It's crazy to think that a simple 3x5
can hold such large memories
I know no matter where I go,
I'm always welcome where I'm from.
