Where I'm From

Where I`m From

Jacob

I`m from practicing basketball, eating Hershey’s, and grandma and grandpa’s house.

         From roughhousing, craziness and hugs.

         I`m from desert sagebrush and blowing sunflowers.

         I am from pulling weeds, brown hair, and hazel eyes.

         From 4 siblings and 2 loving parents.

         I`m from laughter and loud grass hopper.

         From the childhood stories of Larey and Skudule.

         I am from prayer and “ I am a child of god”.

          I`m from hot and humid Texas, and snowy, cold Utah.

         I`m from chocolate chip cookies and baked potatoes.

I`m from vacuumed hands, cracked open skulls, and the school nurse.

         I am from Newport Beach, LaVell Edwards stadium, and home sweet home.
