I am from sneakers

    From Nike and Under Armour.
I am from the sunflowers in the front yard
    colorful and bright
It looked magnificent.
I am from the flowers petals,
the rose
pretty red with thorns.
I'm from the Christmas dinners and the creativeness
    from Deanna and Daniel
    And Dylan.
I'm from the fights and italian dinners.

I am from God and
was delivered by the stork.
I’m from the cross,
    that Jesus was once pinned on.

I’m from Stony Brook Hospital and the italians,
    Pizza and spaghetti with meatballs,
From the dog that bit Aunt Suzie
    the dog that Deanna hid.

I am from pizza shop in Italy Papa owns,
the loud italian house in Long Island,
from the dog pound in italy where Domino and Nathan were adopted from,
from Grandpa's family that adopted him.
I am from the dirt on a softball field,
I’m from the laces of a softball,
I am from the basketball courts,
from the cut down basketball nets,
from the family's loud conversations,
from Papa’s pizzeria,
I am from the sicilian italians.
