Where I'm From

I am from a stuffed bunny,

From Macy’s and many states.

I am from the smell of Peruvian food.

(Spicy and amazing.)

I am from Calla Lilly and the smell of lavender,

Whose scents bring moments of happiness.

I am from the sound of a piano and laughter,

From KayCee and Shaun.

I’m from the I-Love-You-Mores.

And helping each other out.

From “Thank you” and “Amen.”

I am from Jesus Christ and “John 3:16.”

I am from the best country ever,

Peruvian dishes and arroz con pollo.

From an Army Sergeant,

Peruvian ancestors,

And the heart of a hard-working mother.

I am from long road trips

Family vacations,

Hot-air balloon rides,

Rainforest hikes,

I am from those moments-

Unforgettable memories,

That brings joy to our family tree.
