'On This Beautiful Island' Excerpt

Welcome to our home.

I'm so glad you could come.

Let me take you to where

the tiny hummingbird nestles

and shy flowers doze off

under the warm shade

of the big Ceiba tree.


Come along now, don't stay behind!

There is so much I want you to see.

Look around and pay close attention.

Learn the song of the river and the ocean

that floats on the wind.
