hawaiian at heart

it’s not reserved for a designated few,

being hawaiian, I mean.

anyone of like mind,

is in.

it’s not your skin color, or hair color,

or even the color of your eyes.

it’s not your religion,

or lack of,

that imbues you with a hawaiian soul.

it’s not education, or street smarts,

or being homeless, or having wealth.

it’s not fame, or obscurity,

age, height, or weight.

only one thing matters.

that forever in your heart,

you must have “aloha,”

for every living creature,

bar none.

if you do, then you are 

a hawaiian hugmamma,

just not exactly,

no, not exactly, 

never a carbon copy……………………of me!
