I am from Amy and Derek, Nana, Papa, Mimi, Grampie

I am from Maine: the rocky coastline to the “skyscrapers” of Portland.

From vacations in Florida, Red Sox games, Lee and back to Scarborough.

From singing and acting, going to church, and family dinners.

I am from softball: the hot dirt field with no shade.

I am from waterskiing and tubing, ice skating and sledding, from the s’mores to the cocoa.

From Broadway plays, Thanksgiving with the family, and four-wheeler rides getting lost!

I am from “Try your best,” “Never give up,” and “Good work.”

From comedy and “rock and roll.”

From Volk Packaging and Pa Ben and boxes.

I’m from robins and huskies.

Marlee, Winnie and Boomer, Carly, Little Jerry, Stella and more

From love and happiness.

I am from ME.
