My imagination runs wild,
As I grab a pen and write away.
The emotions linger about,
Pushing me to set it free.
It shall be set free
In the words that I write.
It shall be set free
In the feelings that I express.
It shall be set free,
Just by knowing that it is mine.
My own thoughts,
My own words,
My own feelings --
That in itself is poetry,
Whether it is liked by others or not;
I know this to be true,
That as long as it is dear to my heart,
It's as special as can be,
And no one can deny that it is poetry!

The Song of PIBBA
Tinige’: Peter R. Onedera
Dandan: Joey Franquez
The winds blow chants from across the sea
Calling forth the islands of PIBBA’s family
And so we gather in knowledge, friendship,
and smiles
Of languages and cultures, a tribute to our isles.
Iokwe, raan annim, kaselehlia, alii, aloha
Olomwaay, hafa dei, tuwoh, mogethin, Talofa
The song of PIBBA rings forth loud and clear
We unite, we are one, there’s no lance,
there’s no spear
In our tongues we say we love you to one and all
We are strong, we are bold, we are proud,
we stand tall
Iokwe, raan annim, kaselehlia, alii, aloha
Olomwaay, hafa dei, tuwoh, mogethin, talofa
The song of PIBBA is strong through the waves
Our canoes, our coconuts, our heritage we praise
Our islands of PIBBA crisscross the blue sea
Bilingual-Bicultural, in us we trust, our destiny!
Iokwe, raan annim, kaselehlia, alii, aloha
Olomwaay, hafa dei, tuwoh, mogethin, Talofa
