I’m From... by Jackson Killman
I'm from staying up all night, and loving not having to get up on summer mornings...
I'm from the green swaying grass of the soccer fields, practicing, running, dribbling, passing, scoring...
I’m from annoyance and irritation, driving my sisters to tears…
I’m from Gamecock football every September, cheering for my team…
I’m from the ocean, the beach, digging in the damp sand, looking for shark's teeth…
I’m from writing stories and poems, learning from my dad as he does the same…
I’m from watching the rain with my dad on the porch, with raindrops splattering at our feet…
This is where I’m from…
