Although we speak different languages in the Pacific,
We find similarities in other Pacific Islands
In promoting a sense of oneness and of social interaction
In each of our unique Pacific language identity.

Language is the Foundation
Language is the foundation of our uniqueness
that we must pass down to our children.
It is the storyboard that connects us to our culture (tradition, religion, history)
As it tells us of who we are,
Where we came from,
And what we believe in.
It is important to know the struggles our people have gone through and will continue
To do just to live our culture,
Otherwise the language and culture will be erased.

MY POETRY
My imagination runs wild,
As I grab a pen and write away.
The emotions linger about,
Pushing me to set it free.
It shall be set free in the words that I write.
It shall be set free in the feelings that I express.
It shall be set free, just by knowing it is mine.
My own thoughts,
My own words,
My own feelings --
That in itself is poetry,
Whether it is liked by others or not;
I know this to be true,
That as long as it is dear to my heart,
It's as special as can be,
And no one can deny that it is poetry!
