Where I'm From
December 27, 2009
I am from a family
Who wanted a son
I am from a mother
Determined to give me
The best opportunities in life
I am from a father
Who doesn’t know
What it takes to be one
I am from a country
That is broken apart
And incomplete
I am from a family
Who will appreciate me
And where I’m from
