Our Greater Treasure

Poets depict you in poem and prose
Artist paint you like a glorious rose
Men from lands afar come to see
Your incredible beauty,and indulge in your rich history
Holland .....England.....Scotland ...Ireland ....France...Spain..... Africa
Is where we all came from
To one of the smallest islands
Under the Caribbean sun
History ...a tapestry of colors for all to see
Yet for years we went unnoticed ,by the owners that be
Yet onward and upward we trekked straight through
Carving out our niche on you

Saba unique and splended
Rising so majestically from the sea
You are testamentof the hard-work and perseverance
Of our ancestors
Who came to treasure thee

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
