Renua Raje / I am From

I am from...

I am from the UK and US

I am from London and New Jersey

From double Decker buses and bright yellow taxis

I am from the pitter patter of rain on a summer’s day

From dark green wellies jumping in puddles

I am from fishes in bowls and foxes in gardens

From tall wooden fences and dark green flowers

I am from making wishes on dandelions and

Human sized sunflowers

I am from playing with my sister

And talks with my father

I am from jokes with my mother

And arguments with my mother

I am from Sheppard pie on Sunday

To Sticky toffee pudding

 I am from vanilla and strawberry sundae

And banana bread cooking

I am from drawings on my wall

And memories under my bed

I am from trips to the mall

And dresses coloured red
