I Am From

I am from mangoes, from toothbrushes and bananas

I am from the rough carpet and the smell of dogs

I am from the grass and the dirt and the oak trees down the street

I’m from pumpkin pie and gummy bears and from Connor and Riley

I’m from chewing nails and hot chocolate and from really spicy hot sauce

I’m from Santa and the Easter bunny and from ” You’re my only sunshine ”

I’m from the cutting down of our own Christmas tree

I’m from Austin and Ireland and from smoked BBQ

From brown grandpa and his slick brown hair
I’m from pictures of my giant family that will always be in my heart
