Bangladesh (My Country)

From the publication

"826NYC Review #17"

I am from a place of sharing and cooking 

I am from many spices put in dishes 

Where those same dishes fill peoples’ hungry bellies 

I am from a place that smells like fabric saris

I am from a place where bangles jingle like a door bell 

I am from a place where Bangla is spoken 

I am from a place where Muslims pray 

I am from a place with many villages

I am from a place that has milky sweets 

I am from a place that smells like fresh hennah 

I am from a place where people are kind 

I am from a place that has hard and soft fruits 

I am from a place with different kinds of tea

I am from a place I love 

I am from Bangladesh!
