I am from tree swings
and creek water wading
laughter and fun.
I am from long, cold winters,
snowballs, snow forts, and sledding.
The snow was as tall as the houses.
I am from Chama, NM,
a small village
where everyone knew everyone.
I am from pot pies
and TV dinners,
a single mom who
worked too much.
I am from grandma,
aunts, uncles, and cousins galore.
Our families spent much time together.
I am from hard work and dedication,
strong will and stubborness.
I am blessed!
