Hafa Adai! As part of my commitment to continue to share cultural poems relating to our beautiful island of Guam and its people, here’s Korasón Poem #10 titled Chamorro. Enjoy!

Chamorro

Hafa Adai!*
I am a Chamorro — a native of Guam
Who lives on a beautiful island
You’ll find in the deep, blue Pacific Ocean.
You’re welcome to visit us anytime
To share a part of our rich culture.
We’re hospitable and peaceful people
And we gladly welcome you to our family.
