I Am From Poem

I am from my parents
Rajiv and Leena
my sister Tanisha, grandparents,
aunts, uncle, and my cousins

I am from the naan and the
vegetable curry that is
made everyday, the
sweet round ladoos, and
rhombus shaped cashew Katilies

I am from playing
broad games and
Wii with my loving
family

I am from
listening to the
Sparrow and crow story
and the Monkey Story

I am from
my parents
saying
“Work Hard”
and
“Do your
Best”

I am from books
and soft toys

I am from the wonderful
celebration of Dewali
the festival of lights, and Holi the
welcoming of spring

I am from
dark brown eyes
and black hair

I am from
good cooking
and laughter
filling the house

I am from
yelling, to
silence to
laughter

I am from frequent
trips to India

I am from
precious home
where I keep
all my memories, albums,
video clips, and photos

I am from
losing my grandpa
to my sister bringing
happiness to the house

I am from
memories of
losing and
winning, of laughter
and sadness
