I Am Poem

I AM…

A Springfield native, a christian girl with a rebel heart

Two younger sisters, parents and grandparents full with laughter and support

Outdoors child full of imagination and stories

A late night summer drive with long conversations and the windows rolled down

A barefoot summer on the water, skipping rocks and laying out

A Friday night baking with my grandma and looking at old photos

Randall, who is patient with me when I’m being high strung, who knows just how to make me smile on days when i can’t catch a break, and who supports me unconditionally

I AM…

Iced tea and no-bake cookies

Lifetime Movie Network on a dreary day, cuddled up on the couch

A lazy day off, sleeping and painting

A t-shirt with yoga flares, a hat and slide on shoes

Creative, crafty, and always hungry for a new project

My grandmother’s green eyes and my father’s cool toned tan complexion

My mothers stubbornness, as well as her big heart and open mind

Hyper with eagerness to start something new and too short of an attention span to finish something old
