I ‘Am Loved’ Poem
I am from the stacked-up, half-full paints in the corner of my room.
From a bright magenta stuffed bear who is always dressed to impress.
I am from a funny, loving, and free-spirited family.
And from a father who was too silly and careless to play around and a mother who gave to everyone she met.
I am from the beautiful Mexican sandy, blue water beach resorts.
Whose loving and excellent flavorful food stays with you as long-remembered experiences.
I am from the long drives home after staying in school and the long-lasting homework awaiting me at home.
And Pop music playing in the background while painting.
I am from Alice and Alicia,
and the roasted sausage and baked potato at family parties.
I am from those moments when the sky is blue, the sun is up, and the wind blows past your hair.
