Whence We Come

Whence we come

We come from a place as beautiful as a baby's foot

From spring waters and a silent moon

Ocean waves and salt water smells

Sand in toes and flowered rows

Walks in forests that never end

Of a Celtic green that radiates the sun and whispers the wind

Stories and rhymes of childhood dreams

Merry go rounds and soft ice cream

I come from friends and family

My mother’s arms and my father’s eyes

Of grandparents wisdom and childhood games

I come from love and this is how I remember

For in love lies my crayons, and dreams

In love are my memories, that I hold close to me on cold nights

Places where I can run free, like a child on a beach chasing a rainbow sun

I come from love and that is me
