My Family

by Rajendran Sarmiladevi
(Singapore)

My mum is like water and fire
She's always warm and cold,but sometimes she gets too hot.

My father is like a tornado
He always moves and does everything fast.
When he does things faster he gets into mistakes.

My brother is like a toy seller
He has a lot of toys that are not useful and most of them are cars.
He throws the toys everywhere when he gets angry.

My sister is like a mouse and a princess
She does things quietly and fast.
But sometimes gets me into trouble.
She takes care of herself a lot that she spends her recess money on her accessories.

Together we are like a partly cloudy day
We have our moments of darkness and gloom, but the sun always peeks through.
