WHERE I AM FROM 
By: Melba

I am from cleaning, and showers
From Rice, beans, soups, and chicken soup, eggs, cheese and cream
I am from the big farm 
I am from cozy home
I am from corn, coconut, beans, coffee, cacao and plantations
The izote squash flower
I’m from Christmas, birthdays, funny and a lovely family tradition.
From Jose and Raquel, Dad and Mom
I’m from the helping family tendency.
And bring food to poor people
From casual clothes and use a uniform at school. 
I’m from God and believe Jesus saved us
I’m from looking at family history 
My grandpa’s descendancy is from Spain
From sea food with coconut and white cheese 
From the hard worker and honest family
I am from mountains, rivers, and farm family memories
