Where I Come From MAG
I am from smiles and good mornings
To sweet hugs at night
From the woods of camping
To roasting golden-brown marshmallows.
From barks and meows
To slobbery pants and purrs.
I am from clicks on the Dell computer
To silent rings on the phone
From hanging with friends
And being told to come home.
I am from wet splashes with the family
To lying on a summer night under the stars
From school dances and parties with friends
To telling deep dark secrets while catching a late movie.
I am from rough pain
And sharp happiness
But most of all where I am from
Are people who care
And people who I know will always be there.

loved this poem, keep up the excellent work! :)
I like the soft feeling of this poem, not really intense. I could read a whole book of these on a rainy summer day in my pajamas.
Plus, check out my poem "True Colors" if you get a chance, and leave some feedback.
