Stronger Mettle

You are guacamole, milkshakes and fried chicken, 

You are fresh cut grass and laps around the kitchen.

You are bad poems and loud music pumping

You are band shirts and lake water jumping.

You are perfect gifts and handwritten cards

You are hide and go seek and games in the yard. 

You are night lights and back rubs and coffee that's black.

You are breakfasts uneaten and midmorning snacks. 

You are late late nights and too early mornings

You are tornado watch, with never a warning.

You are not the terrible things that have happened to you. 

But you are 100% loved.
