I am from the lemon tree
that never did grow lemons,
From the plant by the window
still hoping for sunlight,
I am from the house
that is almost 100 years old,
And the floating stairs
that took almost 2 years to replace,
I am from the pine trees in our backyard
whose branches sprinkle us
with pine needle confetti,
From my little brother Cooper
who always said specific wrong
And the horseshoe necklace
hanging by my bed.
