Jamaica, land of vibrant sunsets
On this day, hearts beat as one
Locally and overseas, a call resounds
Let passion flow, unfurling like the reggae rhythms

Under the island’s embrace, a celebration stirs
February 23, a day for national pride
Every single Jamaican from all spheres of life
Show the world the tapestry of our identity

Pride echoes through the Jamaican air
Not just a day, but a heartbeat of culture
Beat the drum of heritage loud
Dance in step with the spirit of Jamaica

Raise the flag high, let it catch the breeze
For in unity, a nation finds its strength
Jamaica Day, a stage for stories untold
An anthem of pride, echoing bold

Afterword: Since 2011, Jamaica Day is celebrated annually on the last Friday of February.

While I have traveled, most of it has been to locations from one corner of the United States to another… But Jamaica is one of the few places overseas on the fringes of which I have actually been able to spend a few hours. My chief memory is of the physical beauty and glowing pride of its people, so different from the ways in which my companion travellers understood beauty and pride.

Our independence is in August. Jamaica Day is the national celebration of our island home no matter where we’ve roam or still at home.
