Where I'm From

I am from parties, from make-up and high heeled shoes.
I am from the highest fron in my building
from the bright sunsets every morning
from the barks of my little yorkshire.

I'm from lemon trees in my grandmas backyard,
from the egg thrown at the neighbors house in Halloween nights.
I am from firework on New Years eve and curly long hair
from my dad's side of the family.
From Priscylla and Irving.

I am from long Sunday movie nights
and mass every Sunday mornings.
From "Sit properly" and "Don't bite your nails"
I'm from reading the Bible every night
and loving God under all circumstances.

I am from Texas, from Mexico, from Italy.
From cowboys, from burritos, and pizza.

I'm from the perfect mom
from dads promotions
from my sisters excellent grades
from my failing actions.

I am from memories
from snowy nights and hot days
from the tree that hold my family together
and from the branch that each day grows stronger.
