Where I Come From
By Loni Rutherford
Grade 4
I come from
From loving ice cream
Loving black-eyed peas
From loving my grandma’s chicken
And macaroni and cheese.
Loving the park
Loving the breeze
Loving all of my family
Never forgetting the reasons for this world
Listening to church bells
Going to weddings and funerals
Taught not to be dirty
Taught not to eat like an animal
Getting smarter everyday
So smart I want to say hurray!
I won’t stop talking
Won’t stop eating candy
(I get in trouble for that)
I am so happy
This right here
This is really me.
