19 February 2013

I am from drums, from Les Paul guitars and base.

I am from a long road in the middle of peaceful bliss.

I am from roses and the thorns they hold.

I am from mardi gras, from dark skin,

And Lois, Hershel and Halley.

I am from loud and obnoxious.

From "please and thank you" and "always be honest"

I am from always standing up for what you believe.

I'm from Owensboro and the Eiffel Tower, red beans and rice to fruity tarts

From the city of Paris, a journey my grandmother took as a child,

From the plains of America as it first began, the rich understanding nature has feelings.

I am from dusty boxes stored away into safety, memories and souvenirs tucked away for the next generation to add to.
