I love eggrolls and familyFamily is like an eggroll,

Crispy, golden brown on the outside, Mushy and multi-colored on the inside.

All different in our own unique way.Spicy, Crunchy, or just a little odd.

A community is like a plate of eggrolls. Each brings its own talents and

uniquness to share: fillings of cabbage and pork, sweet’n sour chicken,

mooshoo pork, and mushroom bok choy…

All delicious and mouthwatering. We, the eggrolls, come together,

To share a time for family and our little community

For now it is Chinese New year
