I Am From Apple Trees and Bees

I Am From Apple Trees and Bees 

I am from more than just places like

France and Italy

Vermont and Massachusetts 

    

I am from apple trees and bees 

    Fall leaves

    And maple creamies



I’m from the LGBTQ+ community 

I’m from my family and friends

I’m from my pets and other people’s pets

Pets that haven’t been claimed yet

Animals that will never be pets


I am from movie night with my sister 

Dinner with my Mom

Shopping with Grandma

Visits with my other sister

And football nights with Dad


I’m from smiles

And laughs

Screams

And cries


I’m from basketball 

Soccer

Horseback riding

And field hockey


I’m from laughing with friends

And crying with friends



I am from the experiences of the 

Past 

Present

    and

Future
