I am from Steffi Schneider

Steffi Schneider

I am from the flowers that don’t grow in the winter

From hot summers and cold winters

I am from clay and dirt

And traveling across the seas for family

I am from oaks and pines

Whose strong men grow like oak trees

I am from people who hunt and fish

I am from a city that never sleeps

From where Schneider’s live

And from being kind and being exacting

From the songs my dad sings

From scuba diving with manatees to going to Germany

And from snorkeling in the Key, to traveling far

I am from the moments that I lived in the hot sun in Georgia to the cold of Colorado that is who I am
