I am truly the best gift given
to my parents by the universe
for I am the best version
and the worst version
of themselves.
My nose is grand like my father's
and how he could sense a moment
whenever I wasn't happy,
he could make it better
by just a simple hug.
The bags that lay underneath
my eyes mimic the ones that
my mom has that show the
sacrifices she has made
to make sure I never starve.
And when I miss the very
two people, the universe gave me
as the guardians of this world,
I'll just look in the mirror
to see them in me.
