These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Quarteto: "Latin Culture"

Wondrous to see culture in a Latin land
with food and art to bring our hearts bless-ed good.
From mountain vistas to the joy of beach sand
remembering now the places we once stood.

Speaking Spanish is a gift we all can learn.
Yerba Maté is a drink of blest flavor.
God-made souls of unique lives 'round ev'ry turn.
Moments with each friend we make, we can savor.

Worship God with greatest joy in this new tongue.
Quinceñeras honor youth with fam'ly joy.
Singing songs with strongest fervor, 'til they're sung.
Showing others God's own Truth, we preach employ.
