Where+I'm+From

I am from Twizzlers, from flip flops, and sensitive skin lotion. I am from cool breezes from an open window. I am from red maples and tulips that blanket my childhood memories. I am from 7 fishes Christmas Eve, vacations at the beach, and hugs from my mother. I am from dancing and loud outbursts. I am from 4 children and loving parents. I am from Kmart Blue light specials (because that is where babies come from) and the end of the rainbow. I am from rosaries, plaid jumpers and saddle shoes. I am from Cozenza, spaghetti sauce and bubbatiza. From the green footlocker carried to America, from farm workers, and architects who built their homes by hand. I am from incomplete albums and lost film. I am from granddaughter, daughter, and especially mother.
