My Nation Poem by Mereia Namatua

Near the equator there it stood
An island so cherished its worth your look
Groomed by the Pacific Ocean from all dimensions
With tropical climates that are still in expansions

A total of over 300 islands it has
2 of these islands have the most lands
Inhabited by black, brown and white alike
So it’s a rainbow nation for all mankind

A British colony it was once
Led by the Queen with her crown
But after 96 years Fiji has seen enough
Independence it gained so we are all true Fijians to the blood

Dear friends if you want to visit
Do not hesitate and come to Fiji
For ‘bula’ will meet you wherever you go
With a warm hearted smile that never says no

True Fijian to the bone!
