Where I’m From

By: Phuong Nguyen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where I’m from?

I’m from the small, tropical country

Where the sun always shine

The sweltering never stop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where I’m from?

I’m from my Mother’s vigor, gently aids me.

From the hardy huge assistance of my Father.

Touch my hair.     

I’m from where the old, slow music- being played

Never ever stop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where I’m from?

I’m from where the bright, yellow flowers arise

As if they are holding fire,

Holding my soul,

My passion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where I’m from?

I’m from the endless fields,

Where the winds blow and blow

Where the trees are soldiers,

Protect and shield.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where I’m from…

Not the best, but my soul

Beautiful VietNam.
