Fill-in-the-Blank Poem

I am from face mask.

From stuffed animals and video games.

I am from compassionate and optimistic. 

I am from the beach

(the kind that’s empty and quiet. Where the waves take up half the space on the shore).


I am from rain,

Musubis & poke.

I am from swimming in parking lots after the flood


I’m from "God loves you,”

And he "hears and answers every child’s prayer”


Even here

I am from mist in the mountains,

The smallest light in a dark room.

Don't stop me now.
