Tell me about

India

It's a land with different

languages music and dance.

I was asked, “Tell me about India? This is your chance!”

When I go to bed here in the night.

Far away in India,

its broad day light.

In India we use the auto and the train.

I go to India on a big airplane.

A place with the tallest Mountains

with snow that makes you freeze.

Deserts, plateaus, forests,

rivers and the Arabian Sea.

Just as we say

“How are you doing today?”

In India they say,

“Namastey”

All kinds of food I get to eat

Sweet and spicy one big treat.

Different festivals every other day.

Different people, to different Gods pray.

Just like football and Hollywood

India loves cricket and Bollywood

When I go to India I have a lot of fun.

Play with my cousins under the moon and the sun.

When people ask me, why I am brown?

I tell my family is from an

Indian town.
