Moanike'ala
Querido
You are from a place
where the sun is brighter.
You are from an island
that floats on the Caribbean Sea.
Here we are, in Boca, where
neither of us came from.
But we are here anyway.
It doesn't matter
where you came from
because I know who you are.
You are one who is here for me...
who is having breakfast with me.
Same Egg Florentine with me.
Dearest Someone
Sleepless night...
I'm in her arms listening to a lullaby.
Don't worry, I'm always here for you.
I wish it weren't a dream.
But I know that I'm too old to be in her arms.
Waking up in the middle of the night,
Wondering about the one across the sea,
but always here for me.
You are always here for me...
I know that mom!
Hula Girl
White plumerias in her hair
Red holoku swaying as she moves
A future hula girl in the audience
gazing at Mom under the torch light
