I Am Who I Am To Be

I am from spices that chill lips but warm souls.         

Where Indian curry soothes tongues,

a must in every meal                                 

From home-cooked meat,

always fresh,

delicious and tender.

I am from a loving family,                    

a mother who cares for me alone.      

Clean clothes, detergent, neat and tidy,                                          

a home of structure,

clean as crystal.

I am from Grandparents who experienced much,                

never show it.                                       

Respected grandfather, busy, working,                                    

still gives of his time.

I am from anime action figures and badminton rackets.                 

Playing make believe,

serving hard birds to opponents –

winning matters.                                   

I am from when the rooster crows till the moon rises in the sky badminton is life -                        

A professional one day.

I am from Asia.  

Malaysia!                     

A country of joy,                  

Where you can hear, see people of many kinds,            

love, care and support each other.

One Malaysia!                   

A delightful place.
