I am from a small brown kitchen
From tamales and arroz y frijoles
I am from the house with an old tree that covers the front yard with cool shade
I am from the Aloe Vera
The prickly nopal green and soft
I am from soccer Sundays and brown eyes
From Norma and the noblest Duke
I’m from the animal loving and a tolerance for spice
From the first ever goal and celebrating with my dad
The feeling and joy will never leave as for I knew I was just like them
