I am...

Lan Le 1980 (Dong Nai)

I am a small creature on earth,
an ant that hides under a tiny, yellow leaf
I am a summer wind
blowing away your sadness
I am a long, white coat
keeping your body warm in the winter time
I am a shiny star in the dark sky
helping you find your way to your mother moon
I am a princess of a faraway kingdom
as sweet as sugar
and as mean as a tiger in that black cage
who leads you to mysterious palace
