The Space Between My Mothers Loving Arms
Location
I am from the space between my mothers loving arms
From adventures that never ended in the backyard
I am from the bottom of arms length deep dress up box
And from castles made of cloth held together by clothes pins and pillows
I am from the never ending lake
Whose deep waters bring years woth of laughter and smiles
I am from crayons and stuffed animals
From Kallmeier and Sailor
I am from camping and four wheeling
And from giant dinners that will feed far too many people
From late night movies and extra large bowls of popcorn
I am from praising the name of Jesus
I am from immigrants from Germany and hard working farmers
From mouth waterting pastries and Opa style pancakes
From church builders
And from losing a very loved Oma
And from always having a sippy cup full of warm milk
I am from those moments where friendship is never farther than a walk across the yard
And where true love meets reality
