Sparkling Dress

It smells like carpet when it’s new,
It looks like buildings that are really high in the sky,
It feels like wool when it gets sheared from a sheep,
Warmer than a polar bear,
Like a shining sun in the sky,
You shine like a light that's just come out of a factory,
White as a soft cloud floating in the sky,
Soft as silk,
You flew through the air all the way from Ethiopia,
My lovely auntie gave you to me.
It feels like Ethiopia when you first got here,
Feels like you are hugging me.
