A Poem about a Bahamian in The Bahamas

A Bahamian Poem by A Bahamian

Dennis Arthur Dames
Nassau, The Bahamas

Behold a gratified Bahamian!

Happily indulging in the revered island life

From the advent of my birth

...to the time of my death

... I dwell gladly in my Bahama land - without regret

Daily routine of songs and prayers

Abiding in love and peacefullness

Family togetherness - a way of life

Living the divine ideals without strife

Neighbourly honour and respect

The virtue of peace is always on deck

We dwell in the soulful joy

...holding positively firm - day by day

For God is good to us - I say

I am a spirited Bahamian

Dedicated to exemplary citizenship

Richly contributing to a prosperous tomorrow

For the deserving Bahamian posterity

...our precious children and heirs so dear
