Finalist in the 'Horizon of Dreams 2018' competition

Olive skin and dark brown hair,
even though sometimes I look quite fair
My mother country is quite small
but it's where I was born, after all
It is located between India and China,
yes, exactly where you can find the tropical Asian Myna
Its flag is quite unique and different in shape
but it's a place where no-one would want to escape
The blue mountains tend to touch the sky,
big, huge and stand up so tall and high
Green grasslands fill the area with love
as many people stare to look at the welcoming clouds above
It is a country filled with desire and affection,
being honest it is very close to perfection
I believe it to be above all
My mother country is Nepal
