I am from sports,
From Nike and Adidas
I am from the marble floors
(glistening and glistering, cold like ice)
I am from the blue skies
the clear seas
whose reefs I know
to the core.
I am from the serious minded and the green-eyed,
from Pacho and Lucho
Perez-Salamero
I am from the seaworthy
and the craftsman
From Respect! And Listen!
I am from thank him and praise him.
I am from Panama and Valencia
Rice chicken and Paella
From the fire my Auncle
set to himself,
the hair my father lost to his triumphs.
Above the mahogany wood
stand old memories,
a breeze of innocent times
to be revived by my imagination.
I am from those times,
which I keep in my heart.
I love it! I know you even better now. Thanks for the peak into your life.
