 Bahamas Goombay Summer Festival Fun

 

In the heart of summer's vibrant glow,
The Bahamas comes alive, you know,
With Goombay rhythms, a joyous spree,
A festival of rich history.

Since '71, a story began,
A celebration of this island land,
With culture deep and heritage bright,
The Goombay Summer Festival takes its flight.

Across the islands, it spreads its cheer,
From Nassau to Abaco, far and near,
Even Miami feels its beat,
As Bahamian culture fills the street.

 Summer Beach Time

 

On a sunlit Bahamian shore so grand,
Two young hearts dance hand in hand,
Brother and sister, laughter so bright,
With their loyal dog, pure delight.

School is out, summer's embrace,
A paradise island, their favorite place,
Crystal waves kiss the golden sand,
Dreams and adventures all carefully planned.

Trying To Survive

"Prayer For Strength" - Bahamas AI art

Trying To Survive

In the quiet hours of dawn's first light,
I rise to face another endless fight.
A janitress in halls where dreams once soared,
Now, dreams are luxuries I can’t afford.

 

In a government school, I scrub and clean,
Earning pennies for a life so lean.
No job skills, no bright degree,
Just hands that ache, a soul that's free.

Three little faces look up to me,
Eyes full of hope, yet I can’t see
A way to make our struggles cease,
In this world that denies us peace.

Life Of The Old Fisherman

On my weathered boat, I stand alone,
A life-long fisherman, the sea my home.
The sunset’s hues, a golden fire,
Reflect my heart’s deep, old desire.

The sea is calm, the tropic’s grace,
Seagulls soar in gentle space.
I watch them glide, so free and high,
While I, with heavy heart, look out and sigh.

These hands, once strong, now bear the marks,
Of countless days from dawn to dark.
Each line and crease a tale does tell,
Of fish and storms, of heaven and hell.
