PATRIOTIC SONG
Shining sun, then moonlight.
Across the land, from hill to sand
The sun shines, a star comes out.
Another day is done.
Barking dogs at nighttime,
The hummingbird cannot be heard
Till mornlight and sweetened straw.
Another day has dawned.
Hoary head, suckling
Muscle-toned, weakling
Lengthy tall, tiny small,
Love for all.
Mountain peaks, then valleys
The grassy plain in gentle rain
And tall trees, a little shrub.
Another day of fun.
Broadened smile smile, tip nose
Slitted eye, flat toes
Darkened hue, blanched too
What a crew!
Citrus fields and fruit walks
An apple grove turns mango cove
And garden, a country house
Our island in the sun.
FROM MANY WE ARE ONE.
