first ces broadcast from Hawaii...
Say the word aloha
Enjoy its sound and meaning
Oh the emotions that grows of
This lovely common greeting
Love, peace, compassion
Kindness, mercy, and grace
Are found in this expression
That’s as sweet as an embrace
Doubly, this word acknowledges
The importance of the individual
As no obligation hedges
Nor becomes trite or too casual
Ever it encompasses
The principle of faith!
Seeing what no one notices
Yet not judging another’s way
Wouldn’t it be a wonder
If, like Hawaii, all the world
Could listen, with this spirit, to hear
What to the heart is then heard?
