Where I’m From (Inspired By George Ella Lyon)
I am from The Gateway to South America,
I am from the tropical world and Latin music.
I am from the green and tall mountains under the clear skies.
Obleas, Bandeja Paisa, it tasted like food from the gods.)
I am from the waka waka eh eh
The samina mina sankarewa anawa ah ah
Whose white and gray birds I remember
As if they were my own.
I am from my Dada and my Mama,
From Grandma and Grandpa.
I am from the south and the west,
From “I love you” and “Did you wash the dishes?”
I am from the emerald leaves in the bushes
With a ton of caterpillars in the top of branches
And ten soccer victories I can win myself.
I am from the big transparent rivers and the shiny sun that is always bright,
Bright colors that i always see,
From the funny, and helpful friends that I lost
To the PCS,
They used to keep me entertained.
Under my bed there was a purple mirror
Spilling words saying you are beautiful! Holding,
A dandelion of memories
To drift beneath my dreams.
I am from those moments-
Lost before I was found -
I am a butterfly attached to the family tree
