I am from

I am from
the old couch,
from my bed
and my books,
I am from
the big gray house next to the school, the fresh scent of leaves,
I am from
the beautiful flowers in my yard, the pear tree,
with oddly shaped pears.

I am from celebrations and Chinese, from
Mom and Dad,
I’m from
Camping and Birthdays

I’m from
go to bed,
and Mary Had a Little Lamb
I’m
from making dumplings
I am from
Canada,
from China,
From noodles and rice
From falling off the bed,
A big bump growing on my forehead From our fireplace,
behind the TV,
I am from everything I love
