The Language We All Know

Hola

Labas

Sveiki

Ahoj

 

Talofa

Merhaba

Salut

Oi

 

A flood of colours 

A sea of sounds

Every kind of footstep

Forges a unique track on the ground

 

I believe it is true

Yet it sounds almost absurd

That one can communicate a hundred things- through their face and hands

And verbalising just a single word

 

Our earth is blessed with different cultures

And beautiful languages we may not know

But there is universal love and power

With a simple smile and ‘hello’
