my path to the moon and the stories i plan to take with me

I was inspired by @alliyah 's NaPo thread to write a where I am from poem. its my first one, so wish me luck!

i am from wind and rain and dust, from central and eastern oregon.
church on sundays, and cherry trees in spring, and flowers and dandelion chains.
from bikes and the hill in the sidewalk, from cool evenings and the gray house in the very back of the neighborhood.
from my cousins, my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, my mom and my dad, and the wolf dog that was my family for a long time (but not long enough)
i am from shyness and reading ramona books at age five, from playgrounds and first day friends, from hugs from my teacher and they boy who pulls my hair in line. from the park and the trees and never growing up until now.
