I notice
the hands
giving more than it takes,
gentle


I notice
the mouth
saying words of kindness
soft


I notice
the brave
standing up to them
strong


I notice
the heart
the most precious one
given

"a butterfly is so amazingly strong and fragile at the same time; it can go against great winds and survive extreme weather, and yet one squish can kill it”

[November 2017]

I’m from a place known as the “Big Red Dot”
its like a Melting Pot and it commerces a lot.
Don’t let the language scare you away cause its just
English with a mix of Tamil, Mandarin, Malay.
The food there is lit and the attractions legit
but careful of amends from gum, singing, and spit.
Known as the “Fine city” for its Fines and its fines,
Pay attention to signs and you won’t be caught out of line.


I lived in a place known as the land of Pandas
but its hard to see em’ or even where the land is
Can’t get the OG? Oh don’t you worry
We got a second, third, and fourth copy
Watch for the sky cause you’ll be worried that you’ll die.
The winters are dry and summer doesn’t even try.
You got the old and the new, the culture coming through:
Skyscrapers and ruins, China’s pretty world view.


Many good foods from all these streets
You really gotta stay to try and taste all the eats.
When other countries try to recreate and master
most of it really all just turns into a disaster
We got the spices and the rices
but all in all the advice is
check twice when it comes to prices.
but home is home wherever the heart is.
cdc
sincerely,
Kelly L
