I am from a corner store from Arizona and a chocolate bar 

I am from the big brick building 

I am from the pine cones and the acorns in every street 

I am from where drinking tea after every meal 

And generosity is a must in every person 

from Asem 

and Ahmed and Alsaidi  . 

I am from religious rituals  and to always thank god for what you have in life 

From “ never give up”

and “always have hope for the future”

I am from waking up everyday in Dawn to start my first prayer of the day 

I’m from Yemen from hanith and roasted chicken 

From where my parents grow up together not knowing they meant for each other, the time they had their first child 

And the time  my father decided to leave for America to shape a better future for his family 

I am from the books of photos stored in every cabinet from children memeriios to graduation moments
