Poem: I Am the Corn Islands


I Am the Corn Islands


I am the land

where the Caribbean Sea kisses the shore,

and the golden sun touches every corner.


Where every meal, every baked good,

every dance and every song

carry the resilient story of our ancestors.


I am a land built on the wisdom of our elders,

and shaped by the dreams of new generations.


A place where faith and sport

gather the whole community as one.


I am a land of turquoise and deep waters,

fertile soil and green trees,

all reflecting the vibrant spirit of my people.


I am the Corn Islands—

land of Caribbean Nicaragua.
