Where I am from !!!

I’m from a pink house,

As elegant as a castle.

From Heaven that’s soft,

comfy, and dazzles.

I’m from black glasses,

and earrings too.

From necklaces and bracelets,

And long black boots.

From my cousins in London,

Wahajj and Nabhiya,

From my cousins in Holland,

Hamiz and Wania.

I’m from Eid-ul-Fitr,

and Ramadhan,

And sacrificing a goat,

On Eid-ul-Adha.

I’m from “Jazak’Allah,”

Which means ‘Thank You.’

And “Love For All, Hatred For None,”

Which is always true.

From a scarf,

Covering my head.

From being happy that I’m a Muslim,

Before going to bed.

From eating Biryani,

and Barbecue.

From Papdi Chaat,

My favorite food.

From my finger,

Getting caught in the door.

The nail coming off,

Was quite a bore.

From hot, dry Summers,

And Winters Being cold.

Sometimes fun,

And sometimes too bold.

Farming over there,

is usually a chore.

Businesses and Worksites,

Aren’t a bore.

From swimming and reading,

And water and books.

From playing dodgeball with my Dad,

These are my life’s hooks.
