I am from Roses and Fabric






I am from Roses, from Levis and fabric.

I am from the hand hewn logs on Cricket Flat.

I am from the pine tree's, the woods,

I am from picnics and laughter, from Tom & Janice's country home and Leoma & Rolin's hardware store and Al & Shirly's fishing boat.

From "You've got to get up early to get ahead of me" and "Shine your light on everyone."

I am from Youth group.

I'm from Lagrande Oregon, England, hand churned butter & chocolate chip cookies.

From the horse thief who was hanged, the singer, and trhe bird lover.

I am from ghost story's told around the kitchen table & kept in priceless memories.

I love it! Wasn't that just fun to write. These poems evoke so much emotion. I've got another one floating around in my head that I just may need to write down...

I enjoyed your poem and have made up one of my own. I'm hoping to remember to post it for Monday.

Blessings,
Mary
