I am from Girlie outfits,
from Gymboree and Little Shop For babies.
I am from the stone faced home
gray, white, it looked like a castle.
I am from the cherry blossom, the Japanese maple
that covered the front lawn.
I’m from the Sunday dinner and loud grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles.
I’m from the vacationing and holiday celebrating family.

I am from family is important and always be nice.
I’m from God is watching and pray for people.

I’m from Dix Hills, Deer Park, Commack and Italy,
pasta and wine,
From the grandfather of World War II,
the great grandparents who were seamstresses.

I am from home movies.
Where I have one small role.
