I Am From...

I am from liquor, from Grey Goose Vodka and Bacardi Rum.

I am from the sweetness of my house’s fridge. The chocolate bar and the vanilla ice cream.

I am from playing golf with my great uncle and eating lots of candy, from Papo, Mamia, and Amama.

I am from giving money to the ones who need it, and spending time in family.

From “your uncle is a great person,” and “your uncle is a great cook”.

I am from god, our savior, and our king.

I’m from Panama, from my grandma’s cookies, and my mother’s cheesecakes.

From my pour grandfather, from the luck he had, from the effort he made, and from making our family wealthy.

I am from Remedios, from it’s relaxing fields, from the fresh air, from the lots of animals.

I’m from my mother’s side of the family tree and all my branches turn to that side and they’ll never change.
