I am from sin city the entertainment capital of the world
From gambling, tourism, and dining
I am from the Spring Mountains that lie to the west
I know I will go back one day
I’m from street races in the outskirts of Nevada and California
From Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and spider web chrome wheels
I am from single leaf pinon and bristlecone pine trees
Remembering the pine needles and leaves beneath my feet
Reading books

I’m from beauty and art
Which I got from my mother and shopaholic days
From vacation spots to military bases
I’m from going to the movies to mom and daughter days
From family reunions and meditation
I am from music, images, and annotates
Traveling all over the map
I’m from late nights to five in the morning
Because the city never sleeps

I’m from the Phoenix
A bird that rose from the midst of its flames to give birth to me
I am from nature but the world’s animals and beauty
Are fading each and every day
From a school teacher and his ways education is always first
And he knows best
To living dreams I stick to my goals the most
The most beautiful things in the world are not seen nor touched.
They are felt with the heart.
