On the shores of Puerto Rico, where the warm breezes blow,
Lives a heart full of love, where the Christmas lights glow.
Khajjah, my dear mother, with kindness in your eyes,
You make the world brighter under the Caribbean skies.
The sound of the waves is a lullaby so sweet,
As Christmas time arrives, bringing joy to our feet.
Beneath the palm trees, so tall and so grand,
We gather as family, and together we stand.
The scent of the coquito and pasteles fills the air,
Laughter and music, we have no worries or care.
In the warmth of your kitchen, your love shines so bright,
Like the stars over the ocean on a magical night.
Each year as the season brings festive cheer,
You remind us of love, and that we hold dear—
The gift of togetherness, the joy we all share,
The blessings of life, and how we should care.
With every decoration hung up with grace,
You create a holiday home, a beautiful space.
A touch of Puerto Rican warmth, a soft, loving hand,
Guiding us through Christmas, together we stand.
From the vibrant parrandas to the lights on the tree,
Christmas in Puerto Rico is a wonder to see.
The island hums carols, with rhythms so bright,
As we gather around, basking in festive delight.
But it's you, dear Khajjah, who makes it complete,
With your gentle spirit, so caring and sweet.
You remind us of joy that comes from the heart,
And how love is the gift we should all take part.
Though the world may seem distant and time moves so fast,
The memories you create will forever last.
In the twinkle of lights, in the warmth of a hug,
I feel your presence, your love, like a magical drug.
So this Christmas, my mother, may joy fill your soul,
May peace and happiness be your ultimate goal.
As we celebrate together, by your side we will be,
Grateful for you, our anchor, our light in the sea.
From the warmth of Puerto Rico to the depths of my heart,
Merry Christmas, Khajjah, you’re the light of my start.
With each Christmas carol, with each festive cheer,
I thank the stars for you, year after year.
