LINES OF THOUGHT © 2013

More than a nation, I am,

A voice that crosses time and sea,

I represent a language that has flourished,

In longing, in adventure, in dreaming free.

The Portuguese, rich and vibrant,

Echoes in every corner of the earth,

In an ancient, constant melody,

That brings peace to every heart's worth.

It is in words that I carry the story,

Of kings, poets, and common folk,

It is in the language that I keep the memory,

Of a people who made the world bespoke.

More than borders or flags unfurled,

I am the language that unites, feels, and teaches,

For in every word, there are new ways to spread

The love for our divine language that reaches.
