An Ode to Nabi
Paul Nabor…
strumming away
on the sands of Barranco
One with the earth’s breath
Music… its flow
that vibrates through the bones
of the ground’s soul
No pain or sorrow
I’m moving on…
to the highest peaks
towering over an ocean of snow
A foreign land…
its feelings resonating with my truth
My story woven
into the hearts of Belizeans
where hope glows in a black hole
The Jewel under the sun
are the dreams of the Sahara
Vast… mysterious… endless
Paul Nabor…
Belize is Me
Country serene
My home Belize
A Paradigm bliss
Being kissed by the sea
The people colorful
Headstrong like Mahogany
In the face of oppression
We strive for unity
The Jewel ever blooming
The best is yet to come
Our children hand in hand
Dancing under the sun
God’s gift to us
A land beyond riches
Milk & honey valleys
Passion moving ridges
Blood & sweat bathe the land
Our efforts bear fruits
The nectar of our Heritage
Quenches our roots
The river’s soul
Carry tales of folklores
An Ode to Yerri Soh
From Coro to Toledo
The Cayes… they whisper
Secrets of lazy times
Ambiance sets the mood
Even stress unwind
Days of gold
Yesterday in mind
The birds they sing
In the land of mengo time
Evergreen Chiquibul
Preserve Belize’s youth
She cries every time
When her wealth’s being looted
I kiss the land by the sea
In hope to heal its wounds
Using my arms like the Great Barrier Reef
To protect this jewel
Belize is God’s Paradise…
Heaven sent
She completes me…
My empowerment
