Poem from Adam Sanders

Where I’m From

I am from
Where there is never ending rain
Where the beaver lives on the nickel
From where there is a crunchy soft white blanket
That covers the ground

I am from
Where the caribou roam
From where their thick fur shines in the rays of sun
I am from where dew trickles off the grass in the morning
Like a leaky faucet

From where the eagles rule the sky
Where there are forests that stretch beyond your imagination

I am from
Where totem poles reach beyond clouds
Where bears lumber beside streams
From where salmon make their vast journey
Across oceans and streams

I am from this place that I call
Home
