Michoacan
Michoacan
By Evaristo Granados
I can see my family close but not too far.
I can feel the sun’s heat coming to me when
I run fast.
The best thing I see is my family playing
outside.
When I go outside I see a parrot
making music on the top of my house.
When I go to the zoo I see a lion while
I’m eating a good taco de carne.
I can see what I can touch.
I have eyes in the back of my head.
If leave Michoacan I won’t care or miss it.
I can come back again when I want to.
If I can see my family so does god.
If I can touch the rose in my house so
does god.
