This is a fill-in-the blanks poem I had to write at a leadership program, and I wanted to share...
I am from a crowded dining room table
from sports and newsreading
I am from "put God first and He'll take care of the rest"
and laughter and togetherness
I am from the tree across the street
whose thick branches gave me the best hiding spot in games like spotlight and release
I am from my old high school basketball sweatshirt and Sister of the Year sorority plaque
from Kennedy and Grinko
I am from determination and love
