Childhood
I am from the green grass, the peach and the apple trees
I am from the little red power wheels corvette.
From the empty horse pen where forts where built and the wood
ramps that bicycles got rode off of.
I am from the Milky Way and other chocolate candy bars,
from the snowmobiles, go-carts, and motorcycles that I rode when I was a child.
I am from the bicycle and the lawnmowers I used when I was little.
I am from the deck and garage I built with my dad.
I am from the gravel I cut my side open on when I rolled the four-wheeler, from
the horses I used to ride and the cats and dogs I had in the past.
I am from the waterfall and mini-lake that existed by my house, from the deer
that would always be seen there.
I am from the white cold hills that sleds and snowboards rode down.
