My Homeland

Conversation has increased about the one I love

Can you tell me how old is the one I am proud of?



Can someone tell me what could her real name really be?

Can you tell me what her secret is, if you agree?



How does she really look like, is she blonde or tanned

Are your eyes better or hers, I really want to understand



What I would hate is if you would be affected

So please be prepared, and be able to stay connected



For the actions the women make may be really cruel

I don’t want the cruelness to get to you, so stay cool



To me she is more gorgeous than the beauty it self

She is more stunning than you and also myself



She is closer to me than what my heart could ever get

She is more precious than all the treasures I met



They say that I live with her, which is true

They say I am awake with her, can I view?



Her eyes are my home, and they are also my bed

What I follow is the billow that is under my head



She is what I have been worrying about the past years,

Hug me, you most beautiful woman that has all my fears  

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is a twisted poem where at first the reader might think of it as a woman that someone loves and is describing her, but really the woman is supposed to represent my homeland.  This poem shows how much I care about my country and how much it means to me, also how I don’t want anything to happen to it.  I want it to stay protected from everything especially the other countries as I described it in the poem “for the actions the women make may be really cruel”.  It is so important for me to obey the rule, and I described that as “what I follow is the billow that is under my head”.
