Hawaiian.

***In the 60's, 'twas bandied about, that we numbered less than 2,000 full-blood Hawaiians that are left. Dread the thought, how many of me are left. Aloha, William Kekaula

Listen to poem:
*Image of Quebec City by LNEWS. Hawaiian Eskimos Quacking lone duckling on a crystal lake, Queerly hops a loon, faux pas not a mistake, Quebec, dad's trunk roads for sightseers, Quaint scene, an edgy dad seeks volunteers, Qualifying mountie, Hawaiians, he indulges, Quality time, the whole of Canada, he divulges. 2022 July 26

Premium Member THE WAY YOU SERVE

We travel to Hawaii for today’s blessing…

A blessing that I hope can cause
the coldest heart to melt:

It is through the way you serve others
that your greatness will be felt.

I think we would do well if this blessing
every day we’d pray it….

But it sounds a lot more beautiful…
the way Hawaiians say it:

Ahuwale ka po’okela
I käu hana ia ha’i.

By Any Other Name

In Spain, it’s mariposa.
In Poland, you’ll hear motyl.
One says borboleta in balmy Brazil.

Pulali are a plenty around exotic Nepal. 
“Come here pretty farfalla!” in Italy, 
You would call.

Hawaiians sight pulelehuas 
While strolling in the sand.
A child would chase a chocho if home is in Japan.

No matter how one says or spells it,
I always breathe a sigh,
Every time I behold a beautiful butterfly.
