Lemessos 2030 - Running-Fluent Initiative -- Poem
You’re where cultures blend and blend, tales of dreams, vibrant and untold, extend. Six years now you have been my home, You, my haven, where aspirations grew.
An immigrant's journey, guided by your grace, through the tapestry of learning, a vibrant space. Beneath your nurturing sky, dreams unfold, Higher and higher, your teachings untold.
From a third-world scholar, shy and meek, to a bold advocate, change in hand, unique. You molded me, shaped destiny's hand, a sanctuary where knowledge and dreams expand.
Initiatives grand, weaving destinies anew, in your embrace, aspirations bloom and accrue. A transient presence, yet eternally bright, You, Limassol, my eternal beacon of light.
Though I may depart, time's fleeting flight, in your memory, I remain, shining bright. Limassol, my home, gratitude profound, forever in my heart, a cherished ground
