Where I’m From…

I am from hot gooey pizza on special occasions         

I am from long, stringy pasta

I am from those good old carbs

I am from mouth watering sweets

I am from vegetables my mom makes me eat

I am from fresh fruit in the morning

I am from breakfast, lunch, and dinner

I am from an old purple house on a hill

I am from Madrid street

I am from the Excelsior in the Outer Mission

I am from SF in CA

I am from North America

I am from walking around my neighborhood knowing and saying hi to people

I am from living with my mom and 2 sisters and lots of animals

I am from walking into the back yard to feed the chickens and ducks

I am from having a twin

I am from people getting me mixed up with my sister

I am from Olivia and Liv

I am from giving to others and helping people when they need it

I am from kindness

From, short, to small

I am from hanging out with my friends at school and making them feel good

I am from running through the fields with my friends to get to our small campsite dinner

I am from looking around looking for Easter eggs, then opening them up and comparing them to others

I am from having small birthday parties with the neighbors

I am from getting my christmas tree right after Thanksgiving

I am from eating a big dinner

I am from carelling with the neighbors that makes my heart sing

I am from eating cookies after singing

I am from running around collecting candy from door to door

I am from trading candy with my friends

This is where I’m from
