“My Family is Global”

This post was contributed to Flashy Friday by user Fifi. You can read more of Fifi’s poetry at her blog, The Poetry Korner!

I have grandparents
uncles and aunts
from Palestine and Malaysia
and don’t forget North America.

I also have second cousins
from Italy, Russia,
and Turkey
but don’t forget China
and India

If we’re all together
we create a picture
of faces of diffrent
color and race
but that doesn’t matter
cuz we’re unique as a family.

My family is global
and that’s why
we love to travel.

    aww lol thanks yeah i should actually haha..Inshallah when I get a chance one day!
    Yours is true though right?
    I might also make a poem or you could too like adding all the continents and the major counties lol and saying a have a relative from there and a cousin from there etc… and at the end say something like:
    ’cause we are all children of adam a.s. so we’re all like brothers and sisters to eachother and if you think about it we’re all related in some way! haha.
