I'm From

I am from jumbalaya and gumbo

Because I am canjun just like my father

I am from bows and shotguns

Because I am a hunter

I am from sayings like

"You have to be strong"

And "Listen to your elders"

Because that's what I heard when my parent's raised me

I am from Catholics

Because my dad's family is Sicilian Italian

I am from bagpipes and Kilts

Because my mom's family is Irish and Scottish

I am from make up and nail polish

Because my family is filled with beautiful women

I am from shovels and wrenches

Because all the men in my family are hard workers

I am from guitars and microphones

Because my dad's family has a musical gift

I am from digital cameras and polaroids

Because my mom's family is full of photographers

I am from home cooked meals and family dinners

Because my family is all about love
