I am from fresh grass
And High Mountain tops,
A place full of fresh watered rivers

A place where animals are free to roam
As if they where human.
The monkeys swing from vine to vine,
The cows graze in the jungle- like fields.

I am from rich spices
And different flavors of food
Fresh grown vegetables
And hand picked fruits.

I am from a place where everyone knows everyone.
A place where the day is full of play
The faces are always smiling
And the eyes are always glistening.
There’s laughter in the air
There’s laughter everywhere.

A place where you are never left alone
You always have a friend.
I am from a place where everyday is a sleep over
And a place which is called a home away from home

I am from a place where your teachers are your parents,
Where your friends are your siblings
I am from a place where there are no enemies.

I am from a place where the night is just another day.
A place where you never stop and just think, you just do.
Snapped before I budded–
Leaf-fall from the family tree

I am from a place where dreams come true
I am from these moments–
I am from Jain International
