Hi everyone!! This is yet again another class assignment and I think it really expresses my background and where I am from. I hope you like it!!
I am from Scholastic, stained pages and torn covers from multiple reads,
From Gibsons and Swarovski crystals, sparkling in a china closet.
I am from blue awnings and shutters,
From weedy front lawns and busy streets.
I am from the honeysuckle: sweet and fresh in summer breeze,
The aloe plant, soothing sunburn after days at the beach.
Sprout in the summer and complete the season.
I'm from strolls on autumn evenings, and gray/green eyes,
From Schucks and Connollys.
I'm from the crazy get togethers and always-hungry bellies,
From marine biology- a childhood dream, prayers with a smile each night before bed.
I'm from "alleluia's" and "praise the Lord's"
"Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name."
I'm from Germany, Italy, Ireland, and Brooklyn not too long ago,
From homemade white focaccia pizza and steak off the grill on a summer evening.
From nights of Daddy's band practice, Mommy and I watching Food Network, while the baby snores.
From Carol jumping right through a screen door after Pop scared her silly.
I am from home videos and Barbie dolls, now stored in a box in my basement.
Waiting to reveal the stories of my childhood long ago.
I am from old pictures and hand-me-downs, from priceless, eager minds.
I am from individuality.
Hope you liked it---please review!
