Where Im FromBy 2KB

I am from the White Australia Policy.I am from forty thousand years of history.I am from the tall trees of Woodburn where the leaves fall down from the branch.I am from rainbow cakes, purple, green, orange and red.I am from pudding world, vanilla and strawberries.I am from a farm and the warm gentle bodies of horses.I am from a mother that loves hot sugary coffee.I am from yellow sand, palm trees and thousands of flowers.I am from a mother that loves me.I am from a father that has Italian in his blood and a dog thats named Rasta.I am from the tree swing in my grandmothers backyard where my toes try to touch the highest branch.I am from a mothers butterfly kisses and hugs.I am from two strong brothers that run, kick and jump high.I am from the beautiful tall Eucalypts.I am from the ink on my mothers shoulder and a naughty smart cat named Pudda.I am from burning rubber, oil and grease.I am from the smell of petrol and the loud sound of motorbikes.I am from my mothers pushes on a swing and how much she loves me.I am from an El Salvador mother, Peruvian father and a picture of Machu Pichu on the lounge room wall.I am from games on my Xbox and with my brother.I am from the Jacaranda and laughter when playing Guess Who with my grandma and aunty.I am from the War Memorial Pool and hot sunny days with my dad.I am from a classroom of twenty four loud fun friends.I am from a sandy blue place where I boogie board in the cold deep surf.I am from the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and a home on the top floor.
