I am the puddle of mud on the street after the rain yesterday
I am the leaves dancing on the mango tree
I am the white pillow on your bed that you embraced last night
I am the deer table lamp next to your bed

I am the multi-colored pen you use at school
I am the bottle of water on your table
I am the box of tissues in your convertible
I am the coconut-flavored soap you use


I am the whisper of the night saying ‘sleep tight...’
I am the smile on the mirror in the bathroom
I am the eyes of the walls where you 
I am the kiss of the perfume you always wear


I am your best friend and your 3-year-old cousin
I am your mother and father
I am the X-Men action figure and the stack of bills on your dining table
I am everything you want me to be.
I am... you.
