My Heritage

I’m from tortilla soup and
From Legos and Discovery
I’m from the house of video games
I’m from the medium house and booksy house
I’m from rosemary and roses and pomegranate plants
I’m from fig trees and watermelon vine
I come from making bunuelos on New Year’s Eve and
dinners with mom and being weird
I’m from Anthony and Kasey and Granny and Grandpa Joseph Roger LeClair
I’m from the dog neighborhood
and neighborhood of few kids
I’m from “Get your butt back in bed!’’
and “Magic is not real”
I’m from Texas and California
I’m French and Canadian and American
I’m from tortilla soup and bunuelos
I’m from my parents and grandparents and cousins
I’m from the pictures on the family stairs
I am from happiness and joyfulness
I am two homes – Texas and California!
