Where I'm From
I am from dirt. I was created by god. I love the way my
heart talks, it makes me smile. I come from carmel candy
bars.
I
am from praying, preaching, believing, and loving. I
come from shut ups and stop talking trash. I come from people who
are nice.I am from knowledge and smartypants.
At the table
mashed potatoes are served.
At the table
B-B-Q chicken is smellin' as good as can be.
At the table
greens and ham stirred together in front of of me.
I am from negroes and black folks.
I love the way my people made a way for me.
I come from great granny's soul food.
I live for my mama Angela's, age 27 fried -
chicken, spaghetti, and jambaliya.
I come from 1rst john, psamls, and leviticus.
I am from aunt Cherry, uncle Robert,
cousins James and Quin. I especially
I epsecially am from my mom , my dad,
and my granny. I am from my mom's
sweet golden, and warm heart.
I am from the church house
where people shout stomp
and say "Glory to the heavens".
I love to sing, dance, and say
things from my heart.
That's where I'm from.
