I am from coffee grounds

From music notes and tennis racquets 

I am from the cherry tree 

(Dark green, abundant and tastes sour)  

I am from tulips

The red and yellow petals that bloomed every spring 

I’m from sugar cookies and eyeglasses

From Savitha and Raj

I’m from the planners and road trips 

From “Please wash your hands” and “Aim for the stars”

I’m from Christmas mornings, and Diwali fireworks

I’m from Clinton Township, spicy potato fries and starbursts

From my dad moving across the world for college at 20 for a better future.

The time my grandfather secretly gave me candy before bed.

On a high shelf in the closet is a stack of photo albums and DVD’s, that is carefully documented by my mother

I am from these laminated pages that have wrinkled over time and stick together just like my family.
