I am from barbeques, from Poland Spring and Hershey's.
I am from the yellow house on the block, comfortable, pretty, it felt inviting.
I am from the gardenia, pear tree.
I’m from the Christmas Eve parties and blue eyes, from Anne and Fred and Leanne.
I’m from the laughing and loving.

I am from say please and thank you, and I love you double infinity and more.
I’m from church on sundays, baptism, communion and confirmation.

I’m from Commack, NY and Italy, pizza and pasta,
From the Thanksgiving family vacations and the Christmas meatballs on the floor.

I am from a family made up of many different people and personalities.
I am from the youngest sibling and cousin, and also an aunt.
