I am from the east
From the land of the rising sun
I am from the education
Doing boring drills endlessly
I am from my heroes
Who I imitated
And dreamt of being
I am from the water
Stinging with the smell of chlorine
I am from the backyard
Playing new games
Where language was not a factor
I am from the "Cry baby"
Or the "Starving Beast"
I am from the ballpark
From the Cotton Candy
From mascots
And the seventh inning
I am from the sounds
From school concerts to
The Applauses from the crowd
I am from the expeditions
During which I saw the world
From the cities of New York
To the startling grand canyon
I am from the beach
Where sand sticks on the wet feet
Where the ocean spreads across the horizon
I am from the challenge
From the snow
From the Green
From the pool
From the road
I am from the people
From Friends
And From my Family
lovely even without the pictures!
