A poem like this can say a lot about an island or situation. I think a major poetry contest can be publicized through the media and used sufficiently to promote our out Island communities. What do you think?
Poem:
Eleuthera
I have a special place I go
I wish that I alone did know
This island that gave me freedom
Freedom to love and understand
The special ness of fellowman
The sovereignty of Gods great hand
This island, Eleuthera, I call home
I have a special place I go
Where freedom reigns and this I know
I see it in faces that glow
These people brought me home
I’ll come again when’Er the chance
To laugh and sing, Romance and dance
This is a special circumstance
Eleuthera is my home.
