I am from long days in the sun,

Gallons of aloe gel soothing and cooling my back.

I am from Vacations at my Grandparents Florida house,

Driving and flying twice or three times a year.

I am from the backyards of my neighbors,

From trampolines to driveway basketball courts,
From breaking my elbow after flipping off of the trampoline,
and from broken ankles on the basketball courts at the park,

I am from rough blistered hands from monkey bars at Worthington Park.
I am from countless hours spent on ski lifts,
Coasting down the mountains with all my friends.
I am from days and nights spent in hospitals after all my injuries and broken bones,
I am from the Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster,
I am from orange slices at halftime of soccer games,
from the coldest morning games to the hot day games.
