  8. Where I ’ m From ( by George Ella Lyon ) I am from clothespins , from Clorox and carbon - tetrachloride . I am from the dirt under the back porch . ( Black , glistening , it tasted like beets .) I am from the forsythia bush the Dutch elm whose long - gone limbs I remember as if they were my own . I ’ m from fudge and eyeglasses , from Imogene and Alafair . I ’ m from the know - it - alls and the pass - it - ons , from Perk up! and Pipe down! I ’ m from He restoreth my soul with a cottonball lamb and ten verses I can say myself . I ’ m from Artemus and Billie ’ s Branch , fried corn and strong co ff ee . From the fi nger my grandfather lost to the auger , the eye my father shut to keep his sight . Under my bed was a dress box spilling old pictures , a si f of lost faces to dri f beneath my dreams . I am from those moments -- snapped before I budded -- leaf - fall from the family tree . http://www.georgeellalyon.com/audio/where.mp3 Heather Plett sharing stories , wisdom & courage www . heatherplett . com Sunday, 11 November, 12
