Where i’m from Elizabeth Davenport
I am from hot summer days from running barefoot through the gravel and climbing high up in the trees I’m from girl scout cookies and volunteer projects from helping those in need.
I’m from long weekends on my grandfathers farm From when “too much” was just enough And from when I couldn’t quite understand I’m from the heart ache and worry Sorrow and grief, From the cancer that took him away from me.
I am from a life of theater From the hard, cold reality From being accepted…and rejected and climbing up the “Ladder of Success” I’m from casting calls and scripts From when “upstage” is back, and “downstage” is forward.
I am from the love of a family Divided, yet whole. From the love of the friends who cared and the people who saw that I was something more.
