The Origin of Sweetness

"Where I'm From"
I am from delicious taco Fridays, from the loud coffee maker, and homemade hummus.
I am from sweet Vancouver and Winnipeg.
I am from strolling on the wandered trails of the bush and fresh-picked raspberries.
I am from ice cream cake on my birthday and blue eyes, from H to Emster, Peters and Kroeker.
I am from the rainy day read-a-thons and sleeping in till eleven o'clock.
From "wait a second, I'm almost done" to "if I could have any little girl in the world, I would choose you."
I am from Mennonites.
I'm from Peter's mistake, the kryptonite, and my dad's gray hair.
I am from pranksters and tricksters.
I'm from a kiss on the cheek and the sound of my nighttime radio.
