Where I’m from
I’m from a home where Mom’s always at work.
Where Dad sits in front of the T.V.
Watching the news or the sports channels.
Us children rushing to do homework before the sun goes down.
Playing street games.
Running around, sometimes in the rain.
Watching Mom cook special meals for us.
Smiling and learning to imitate her and what she does.
Saying I’m going to be a good cook just like you one day.
Not knowing that those words made her day.
Sun’s gone down, tomorrow’s a new day.
I guess we’ll start it all over again the same ole way.
