This Is Jamaica...I LOVE YOU!

This Is Jamaica...I LOVE YOU!

This is Jamaica

windswept...covered in majesty

beautiful in all her splendor

she is a queen

she calls me and I listen

she touches me and I come alive

she is my queen

she is where I want to be

yesterday the world lied to me

I was told to leave you behind

I was told to never look back

I gave up on you

yet you stuck by me

I surrendered to another

yet you called me you own

you never left me behind...how could I ever have left?

Your voice calls out across the divide we call space and time

all your children know your voice

they know your rhythm

they know you

You are our queen

I freely offer the best of who I AM

I will love you once more

without conditions...ours is unconditional and forever

How else can I express what I feel for you

only with the promise of living my best life

only with the certainty of truth

Can I express to you...Jamaica, I LOVE YOU!
