May we all be blessed to one day learn a second language
because as these new words in your unfurl
we find they open up another window in which to look out on the world
And when we think in a different language
we're in for a surprise….
as we look through this new window
and begin to see the world through another culture's eyes.
Such a beautiful tribute to language and culture. That's one of the great things about Poem Hunter. We learn so much about the poets' different cultures.
Grew up, bilingual, English-Spanish and could not agree with you more. Everyday I am grateful for this double call that has truly enriched my life, forever more. Beautifully written poem full marks and to my favorites!

2) Jim, thank you for inspiring and motivating to go out and learn Spanish. Since I plan on continuing to visit Cuba, it will definitely be an asset.
