Family Chain

I was born where did I come from who do I look like, reflect mom, dad, siblings forgetting that it is a small world with a big family that I have inherited my skin, facial features produced by the make up of an ancestor who? my grandmother brown skin, beautiful, healthy me I resemble someone who is of great thought contribution to the past I have someone to fit in with, to bond, to listen a mission to carry the strength that a woman expresses like no other to bring life of another, version of me I can now see where I belong as the rhythm of a beat, to seek a woman who is pure, not new but true, to the roots like no other, except for... my grandmother
