She's From

She comes from under a star covered banner,
One covered in green, yellow, and blue,
A flag that symbolizes all she is,
The flag of Brazil,
The city of Belo Horizonte,
A home to herself and family,


She's From

A chicken stealing town,
Pulling pranks on the farmers,
Careful,
This is a land where people will shoot,
Never was she caught,
The stealthy ninja,
The on that had a few more drumsticks than anyone else,
The country of Brazil,
The city of Belo Horizonte,
A home to herself and family



She's From

A place you sit and relax,
A place to get excited and pumped,
A place where no one cares and you have all the fun in the world,
A place no one tells you what to do,
A neighborly place in this world sugar-coated with madness,
The country of Brazil,
The city of Belo Horizonte,
A home to herself and family



She's From

A place where you meet foreigners,
A place to meet your match,
A place that you don't want to forget,
You need to be bilingual,
A place where she met him,
My mother and father unite,
Right here,
In,
The country of Brazil,
The city of Belo Horizonte,
The place my parents unite,



I'm From

A hardworking woman,
Who craves that chocolate,
A hardworking woman,
Who fought the urge to give up when faced with a different language,
A hardworking woman,
One whose struggles prevailed,
A hardworking woman,
Who made me what I am,
One the loved and supported,
One that pushed me through tough times,
One that forced me to my limits,
One that made me who I am,
I am from you,
My Mother,
And I love you

I originally made this for Mother's Day. It was an in class assignment.
We were supposed to make a she was, I am poem. The whole point was to make our mothers' feel special.
