I Am From

I Am From...

I am from California sunshine and curly bleach blonde hair

Naps on the beach, honeysuckle treats, riding skateboards down the street

I am from grandma and grandpa's house on the hill

A single mother, beautiful and brave

Green eyes just like daddy, Dave

Disney princesses, sunflower dresses, a tomboy at heart, played with the boys at Rocketship Park

Warm by noon, grandpa whistles a happy tune, and says, "Go ahead honey, kick to the moon!"

I am from pine trees, smell of fresh rain, green, not at all plain

Friends at my side for fun and games, but even through times not so tame

The gospel, songs of praise, God's grace, and blessings most days

A big family, crazy, loving, and full of laughter

A heart waiting to be captured

I am from the stage, the choir, and the dance floor

Trips to London and Paris, but still wanting more

Big dreams of my star on a street

A University in a charming, small town

I'm the one sipping starbucks on the bench in a white gown

That's where I am from...
