Where I’m from (poem)

this is a meme I always wanted to do. The instructions can be found here.

*****

I am from fountain pens, from Elmex and one golden ring.

I am from the huge yellow house with the old stonewall … warm, cozy, where everyone has a place.

I am from the ash-tree, the semperfiore and the earth, the woods, the daisies and the crop in the field.

I am from light a candle for each year and we don’t yield, from A., and C. and A..

I am from the love of nature and sunshine and much interest in freshly cooked food.

From you can – sad as it is – only trust yourself and you are a poor kid and you’ll manage.

I am from owing respect and love to life.

I’m from Austria, Reindling and coffee.

From the man who traded wood, the wise, gentle words and I., who long couldn’t cope with life and me.

I am from the picture of C. as a baby, laughing like mad, thrown in the air by me, from baby-A.’s black hair (it turned golden a few months after) and her peaceful sleep, from A. holding the baby while C. hugs his leg and the cat steps in te picture.
