“That’s why we share
All we have with you
Though there’s little to be found
Cause when all you have is nothing
There’s a lot to go around.”
Haitian
Etiquette
“You’ll take
my bed
And I’ll
sleep on the floor.”
You look
surprised.
“That’s not a
suggestion. “
You’ve never
seen this before?
You are my
guest.
I can only
give you my best.
Show you
around
Pay for your
meals
Do all that
relieves stress
Don’t be
afraid
To ask for
anything.
“I don’t want
to be a burden, I –”
I don’t want
to hear it.
Don’t get up
for a thing
Learn to
relax and sit
Feel
comfortable
When you’re
in my home
For these few
days
Throw your
worries
Onto me
Because if
you worry
How can I be
happy?
This is
Haitian Etiquette
Rules written
long before my time
You give the
very best
To every
guest
So their stay
is
Lovely and
without worry
And they can
get lost in time.
