Where I'm From

I am from a place where nightly dinners make the house smell like a restaurant.

I am from a place that is comfortable and relaxing as you listen to the running water of the koi pond outside in the backyard.

I am from a place that has a yard big enough to run and play in the backyard.

I am from a place where there is constant bickering between myself and my brother and where my dog barks at the strangers driving up the street.

I am from a place that looks vacant, where everything is in order with a lot of open space.

I am from a place that lives deep in my heart because the people I love live there and this place is what I call my home.
