Where I’m From
A Journey Through Life
I am from the land of greens and coconuts
Where waterways meet highways
Where national parks are backyards
I am from the land of beauty and splendor
Where nature walks among us
Elephants, creepy crawlers, slithering reptiles
There is no end to the flora and fauna
I am from the land of it’s spicy and you know it
Where the food leaves you wanting
Spices so hot
Chai so flavorful
Aroma so desirable
It leaves your body quivering
I am from the land of dates and safaris
Where skyscrapers dance in the clouds
Where the West meets the Middle East
I am from the land of shawarma and sheesha
Where FIFA is life
Coffee is divine
And the food is Habibi
I am from the land of mystery and marvel
Where I draw my own course
I paint my own story
I chart my destiny
I am from the land of poetry
Where stories leave you wanting
Love feels unwavering
Life feels worth living
