I am from the pepperoni pizza ordered every other night in the summer

I am from Michigan and the year 1989

I am from skis on the snow flying down the mountain

I am from cold winters and freezing my hands off

I am from pine and cedar trees while exploring the Black Hills

I am from the football field where my sweat soaks the ground

I am from the tractor cab in the corn field in the hot summer wind

I am from cleaning out thistles from the trees at my dad’s house

I am from building the house and splinters from the wood

I am from my mom teaching me school at home

I am from sitting in a tree stand in the cold winter night

I am from the boat and the tube and the Jet Ski in the summer on the lake

I am from riding snowmobiles over the ice on the lake in the freezing winter

I am from shooting your first deer in the falling snow

I am from the Parsons house

I am from Isaac and I building forts in the woods
