Where Im From Poem

I am from sketchbooks,

from prismas and pencils.

I am from the house at the end of the cul-de-sac (small, spacious and full of childhood memories).

I am from the rose garden, red roses, whose thorns would scratch me when trying to get the ball out of it.
I am from putting up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and independency,

from Gloria and Sanchez and Ramiro.

I am from the family that always helps people around us who dont have what we have and from the family who always shows their appreciation.

From not giving up on anything I set my mind to and always be positive no matter what happens.

I am from the Catholic community.

I'm from Houston, Texas and Herman Sanchez, a cross and futbol.

From the time when my grandpa went to go try to shoot a lizard with a slingshot and my mom accidentally getting hot form the ricochet, the when my brother and I would try to buy my moms presents behind her back but somehow still finding out what we were up to.

I am from photo albums, a truevalue plastic container, full of cherishing moments from my moms childhood to brother and I’s childhood.
