Tropic Eve
In a tranquil tropic's warm embrace,
A full moon rises with gentle grace.
Over a calm, still sea it gleams,
A paradise in summer's dreams.
Twinkling stars in the velvet night,
Moonlight's dance, so pure, so bright.
Reflecting off the sandy shore,
White grains gleam, they yearn for more.
Coconut trees in silent rows,
Flowers in bloom, the coastline glows.
A balmy breeze begins to play,
Clouds drift in a moonlit ballet.

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.
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.
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.
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.
