I am from ancient monuments ad iconic sites
I am from the land of Pharaohs
Crowded, friendly, and silky lines of the sunset.

I am from the finest cotton.
Soft and silky.
I am from Easter and humor.
From Mazouk and Batoul.

I am from the generous and tolerant.
From diamonds and lemons.
I am from Islam and peace.
I am from Egypt.

From kushari and sugar cane.
From the farmers and hard workers.
I am from magnetic memorabilia
And photos on the refrigerator.
Where family are the people who love me.

Mai Marzouk
