I'm the Daughter of Three Countries

I'm the daughter of three countries,

three cultures

from Palestine and Malaysia,

and America.

I wear three cultures,

a thobe from Palestine

a baju kuruang from Malaysia

I eat three cultures,

from Palestine

land of the,

almonds and apricots,

olives and oranges,

and thyme.

From Malaysia,

land of the,

ginger and soy sauce,

rambutan and papayas,

mango and bananas.

From America,

land of the,

fried chicken and corn,

hotdogs and brownies.

I'm from three countries,

proud of who I am,

an Arab, Malaysian,

and American..

Malaysia

Malaysia is

the tropics in the middle of the ocean

the mountains so high in the sky

the mosquitoes waiting to bite

Malaysia is 

the water so clear in the rivers and oceans

the lizard clicking on the night 

the rain splashing in the sunlight

the bikers riding around town

Malaysia is 

a warm feeling inside the world

a cool shower after a hot day
