I am from a pink and white toy possum
From my toy turtle and brown fluffy teddy bear
I am from a red and white home with pretty decorations
And a beautiful backyard I play in
I am from a pretty white jasmine flower
Who sings with the wind
I am from my stuffed animals
From my mum and dad
And my grandparents
From our family stone
I am from the colors that we throw at Holi
From my lovely sweets and delicious rice
From the first time I held a sparkler for Diwali
And from the cake we at to celebrate
I am from the little Elsa birthday cake I got for my 5th birthday
I am from the moments in my family and the love the bring
