where i m from

I am from cold winters,
From the early morenings and 45 minute drives.
I am from Mad River and packed lunches.
I am from excited, fast, and steep runs.
I am from the bunny hills and the double blacks.
From being six and scared to an adult and confident.
I am from colorado and vail.
From family and friends. 

I am from sandy beaches and 10 hour drives.
I am from grandparents and uncles, parents and brothers.
From boogie boarding every day.
I am from playing tripole and ucher.
From deep sea fishing and catching the big one.
I am from watching fireworks on the fourth of july.
From playing with sparklers and eating homemade apple pie.

I am from lacrosse and football
from long hot practices and dirty luandry.
I am from going undefeated in lacrosse
to beating Upper Arlington in football.
I am from watching film and dirty locker rooms
i am from going to bed at nine o'clock
to wakeing up at six in the morening.
