I am from worn down tiger paws, from Nike shorts and leotards.

I am from moving homes, new color schemes, and warm, cozy blankets.
From tomato plant, corn stock and flower gardens.

I am from hiding a pickle in the Christmas tree, holiday trains, of Tim, Jody, and Tiffany Merry.
I am from seizure-like dancing and off-key singing.
From having skinny lengthy legs and a mumbling mouth.

I am from a Christian based family. Not typically practicing.
I am from 70 to 100 degree summers of Waukesha, and below zero to 30 degree winters.
From crab dip and green Jell-o.

I am from fireplace mantle, hallway walls and bed side tables.
I am from kind, caring, sweet papa Tim, project helper, lawn mower partner.
I am from the non stop worker grandma Jody, green thumb, volunteer, best salsa maker.
From 5:30 rising to 11:00 shut-eye.
