Sweet Sweet Jamaica
A country of lush greenery,
Miles of beautiful white sand beaches.
Tucked away in the Greater Antilles
The world love this little island,
For its alluring beauty and strength.
The people
Proud
Irresistible
Loving
Kind
Full of Joy.
Its fruits and vegetables
The envy of many.
The diaspora are champions,
Who stands out in any crowd.
You can spot them by their swag,
The envy of the Caribbean.
Jamaica, the “solid as a rock”, stone,
The jewel of the Caribbean.
It boasts
The most influential genre of music
Many dominant sporting personalities
Finest arts enthusiasts
Scores of species of animals
Indigenous birds, insects, and vegetation
Tasty fruits and vegetables
Extensive scenic views scattered across the land

Its a heartfelt ode to Jamaica and your roots. I love the sense of pride and it is a 'chest - beating' proclamation of why you love the country so much. Yes as you quite rightly state in your writings as a nation it has influenced the world i.e popular culture,the arts,sports, spirituality etc. Thank you for sharing.
