UNION COUNTY VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL SCHOOLS' STUDENT NEWSPAPER
I am from the tattered bunny I used to sleep with
From the old barbie dolls and pile of stuffed animals
I am from the dusty corners
And the creaking doors
I am from the long gone sassafras tree
Whose stump reminds me of times past
I am from the chewed up dog toys and the slideshow picture frame
From Ruth and John
I am from curly hair and chestnut eyes
And from chewing my tongue in deep concentration
From strong minded women
I am from the playset in the yard
I am from the unraked leaves poking through the melting snow
From rhubarb pie and baked pork
From the moment my family first set foot on this newly discovered soil
And from my mother's first trip abroad
And my first trip abroad
I am from all those small moments
That will always live in me
