Where I am From

By Octavia Coston
Grade 4
Webster Magnet School  

Julia klatt singer

Mama cooking fried chicken, Mac and Cheese, greens,

sweet potato pie and corn bread for a big Sunday meal,

Incredible grandma still partying like a twenty year old.

North star shining so bright,

Nana can’t stop going to bingo.

Entering River of Life Christian church,

Sister singing like a bird in the sky.

Over 85 degrees Fahrenheit and mama still in the kitchen,

Talented aunty Annie dancing like she never,

And I mean never, danced before.
