I Am From
Sierra Isabella
I am from
Cold rainy days wearing knitted sweaters so cozy it makes me sleepy
Wherever I turn my head I see yellow, blue, and red
Because it represents my country.
I am from
Waking up to the glorious smell of rice and beans with potatoes
waiting for me to eat them.
Brown coffee beans smell strong but at the same time delicious.
I am from
Tan skin color with black hair and beautiful long lashes
Traditional dances light up my mood.
Women dancing in long colorful dresses with perfect embroidery
all handmaid with someone’s hard work
Tap, Tap, Tap goes the dancer’s shoes, and before I know it, I’m dancing too.
I am from
Music with accordions, Acoustic guitars, and maracas.
When they all come together they sound like the perfect combo
They make me want to sing along and smile.
I am from
tall green mountains
Chickens, cows, and horses roaming all around.
Family welcoming me into their home
Even though it isn’t my home
They always make sure they make me feel like it is.
