Where I’m From
By Zoe B., 5th grade, at the Ink Spot
Where I’m from.
Where am I from?
I could mention the love of my best friends.
I could mention the tweet of the blue jays
or the “you’re hot or you’re cold” of the radio
or the wax of the crayons on my fingers
possibly the refrigerator magnets
or the holding of my dad’s hand safely in a thunder storm.
But what I should mention is the love of my family.
Even without a mom. I was loved. That’s where I’m from.
