Where I’m from:
I am from Art and Laura And a grandma who’d always say “I’ll dance at your wedding” From one house since age two With a favorite meal, chicken pies From mac & cheese and Maggie and the Furious Beast I am from family game nights And vacations filled with chaos To three older siblings who berate me And the family dog, Duke To my first pet, butterscotch Who was buried in my yard From Friday nights filled with football And Saturdays spent at my “second home” From four seasons, especially winter With snow days, snowmen, and snowflakes From the 17th state of the nation To a new place where I became a Hokie |
