Where I'm From

I am from my first stuffed toy that looked like it was real From my bike with training wheels I am from the smell of onions making my eyes water I am from dandelions in my back yard Whose bright yellow flower scrubs the dirt off my shoes I am from Nintendo and my tablet From beena and vivek “I am from no device while eating!” and “no balls in the house!” From no meat on Sundays From waking up at 8:00AM every morning I am from praying every night I am from my nani and nana From gollgupa and samosa From hearing about did not have any phones at my age And from moving to Canada for a better life Hurting my knee while riding my bike I am from those moments when the smell of onions made my eyes water.
