Irishinos

Irishinos
by Paul McCann

I want to hear you speak Tagalog and be with you .
I want to talk to you also in Tagalog too .
I want you and me to be at home everywhere .
I want to catch my breath in the Filipino air .
I want to walk with you inthe Filipino breeze .
I want to taste with you fruit from Filipino trees .
I want to see those friendly Filipino faces
and enjoy with you life in Filipino places .
I want to kiss the Filipino ground you came from ,
I want our souls to unite
and our love to be strong .
I want to be half Irish
and half Filipino ,
me in you and you in me ,
as one Irishino .
