Where I’m From

My 5th grade Language Arts class assignment

I am from potato chips

From tasty Oreo and YouTube music
I am from Mariners Cove
Pure milk and sour oranges
I am from the cherry blossom.
The joyful tree
Whose long gone limbs I remember
As if they were my own

I am from love and friendship
From a strong mom, brave dad and a hilarious brother
I am from family movies, playing in the park
And love for reading

I am from “love you” and “angel smiles”
And “Let it go”
I am from the bright lights of Diwali
I am from windy Chicago and incredible India
And delicous Dosa and tangy tomato sauce

From the boy who loves crazy rides and water slides
Dreams of talking one day.
Believe in the power of voice

Family picture with family rules
In the dining hall
I am from the Sensory corner in my study

I am from my story of amazing love
