“To Celebrate Navidad”
My senses enjoy every minute
sounds sights tastes and smells
of my busy home that tells
its time to celebrate Navidad.
The sound of musica latina
salsa clasica de Fania
es la favorita de mia
to celebrate Navidad.
My eyes take in the glow of the lights
scenes of Los Reyes on starry nights
setting the date within my sights
to celebrate Navidad.
The taste of sweet and foamy coquito
my favorite drink of the holiday season
gives me one more savory reason
to celebrate Navidad.
It is always a joy to smell
arroz con gandules delicioso
sopa de palmitas que sabroso
scents to celebrate Navidad.
May your Navidad be filled with love
as the snow falls soft as the call of a dove
take time out to thank God above
as you celebrate Navidad.

Michael’s writings are inspirational. His way of incorporating his “Latinidad” into some of his poems is exemplary.
Great job Mike.
