Where I’m From

I am from video games and basketballs
from homework and books
I am from the house of project central
I am from the big and huge home and
I am from the apple tree and the oak tree
I am from the neighborhood full of boys and girls and fun
I’m from making tamales and eating them on Christmas Eve
I’m from Robert and Gabriela and
CQ and Rhyea and
Polo and Chewy
I’m from the fireworks and block parties
I’m from “I’ll give you something to cry about”
and “Love you!”
I’m from believing in heaven
I’m from the Army and
I’m from San Antonio, Texas and
Mexico City
I’m from pizza and
Ice cream
I’m from peace
I’m from nieces and parents
I’m from pictures on the wall
I am from road trips and the military!

The Sky

The sky is blue so are you but I still like you. you are nice but in your house you have mice
When outside we play a lot but a bee
Tries to sting me but you protect me
So the
Sky is blue and but this story will not end because we are friends

The little sailor

The little sailor came to the sea as proud as can be,
As he passed some fish, he caught some to put on a dish,
As he sailed by he came out on a new sea,
As that happened the sea came to be a that could never be to see,
A storm of terror the angry sea swallowed the tiny ship,
And was never found.

Best Day Ever

The sky is blue
The grass is green
The birds are chirping chirp chirp
The sun is bright
and everyone is at the pool
it’s crazy at the pool!
It’s packed because schools out and it’s the best time ever!

Books

There are so many books to choose from
Should I get this or that
Some are good some are bad
This one matches my favorite hat!

I look through the pages
Now I’ve read a few
This is taking me ages
What am I to do

Maybe a book about how to cook
Look the book fits me perfectly
It’s about three kits
That have lost their mitts

My Unicorn

My little Unicorn
Always on my side,

I always want her to be there,
Because then together we can glide.

She’s always sparkling,
Always in my heart,
We will always be together,
Because she’s sweet like a tart.

So loyal!
So kind!
She’s special like no other.
No one can replace her.
No one can be the same as my little Unicorn.
