Quisqueya La Bella Poem by Dan Quiles

If you are my heavenly god mother
(mother of my earth)
My god-mother, my heavenly father,
My sweet tooth, what a boost!
From the Taino origin,
From the coast, that toast, boast itself,
The most exquisite country,
The best dishes that makes one wishing for more
A country with a beautiful face
A history rich of many tales,
An expressive voice,
Talented and full figures,
A face of many colors
That I adore for its culture
& favor for its qualities
that have much too offer
I was blessed and fortunate
To have met ‘La Quisqueya la Bella’
I am grateful, so thankful, to have met
A handful of a bountiful,
That has full filled a soul
With many memories to last, cast
A lifetime of thank you’s
My brave quisqueya la bella;
I will forever love.
