I am from guitar picks,
from snowboards and long boards.
I am from the freshly fallen snow
on a beautiful Christmas eve.
I am from the mountains of Colorado
whose spirit will never be far from my own.
I'm from rock candy and pop rocks
from soda and chips
I'm from the am alls
and be alls
from shut up! and sit down!
I am from the LORD God
who cleansed my soul
and gave me new life.
I'm from Mother and Father
scrambled eggs and fried bacon.
From the bullet the pierced my leg
cus my step dad thought it would be fun
the making jokes to never let him forget it.
In my closet is a photo album
full of faces I've forgotten
and feelings I'll never feel again.
I am from those moments--
never to be forgotten--
but always to be loved.
