PRESENTATION OUTLINE
I am from hair ties.
From Elnopal and NCMC.
I am from the house on Ridgeway street.
Small, yellow.
It felt like happiness.
I am from the green grass. The American Orchard, who's pokey edges smashed under our bare feet.
I'm from the homemade fried chicken and tan skin.
From Stanley and Faye.
I am from the music lovers and sports minded.
From "Stop fighting with your brother!"
And "Go outside and play"
I'm from "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
And knowing the books of the Bible.
I'm from Missouri and the Cherokee tribe,
rice and meat.
From my Great Grans paintings to the homemade ice-cream from my Mimmy.
In the kitchen is my memories.
I am from the dry lands of Missouri filled with happiness and love.
