I am From

I am from sandy beaches, church every Sunday, and a big extended family
I am from road trips and family vacations
I am from BBQs in the summer and hot chocolate in the winter
I am from campfires and burning leaves
I am from "get off the phone," and "stop fighting with your sister"
I am from pom poms and GO W.O.
I am from team dinners and 6 a.m. Saturdays
I am from New Kids on the Block and stirrup pants
I am from love
I am from my family

I get a real sense of family bonds, both good and bad, from this poem. I also couldn't help but crack a smile when I read New Kids on the Block and stirrup pants. I also like the image of BBQs and hot chocolate. It not only brings to mind how they look but also stirs the other sense, taste and smell.
