I am from baseball
from Wilson and Rawlings
I am from the fire pit in the backyard
realxing, entertaining, and smokey.
I am from the many tall trees,
the grass, green and lucious.
I'm from the Feast of the Assumption
and towering over my short italian relatives,
from Jeanne, Bill, and Julie.
I'm from the joking around and telling stories,
from put things back where you found them
and treat others how you would like to be treated.
I'm from church on Sunday mornings
I'm from Italy, Grandma's meatballs, and lasagna.
From my Grandma breaking a wooden spoon over Uncle Joey's backside
my Grandpa telling hilarious jokes.
Albums and albums of memories
that will always put a smile on my face.
