I am From
I am from the kitchen.
From Jallof Rice and fufu.
I am from the big house full of children
The smell of the foods so strong but yummy in the tummy.
I am from big trees that leafs almost covers half of our house.
I'm from the orange, Mango, and Avocado plant
Whose long gone limbs I remember
as if they were my own.
I'm from watching mom cook every weekend and hoping everyday to see my dad
From uncle and mom
I'm from eating as a family in a big crowd and a loud family that you hear from miles away
and from the beautiful attires that is worn every time in the house.
I'm from long scary night story and dancing under the big moon that lights up the whole city.
and reading the Quran everyday, watching a TV wasn't an option.
I'm from looking up to your elders and working hard for the blessings of your parents
I'm from Guinea Conakry
Cassava Leafs and Peanut butter soup
From "a land were heroes where first raised"
"A land where culture, Heritage, traditions are flowing ripples"
"Africa! the jewel, God's Golden fleece."
Great memories, forever saved in my heart.
