When a man loves a woman, “he can't keep his mind on nothing
else. If she is bad, he can’t see it.”
“She can do no wrong. He will turn his back on his
best friend if he puts her down”.
I fell in love with such a woman to the point I will give my
life protecting her.
Her natural beauty is beyond verbal explanation. She
has fourteen children that were divinely born and I love them all.
Her name is Jamaica.
Her 14 children (sometime called parishes) have many children of their own who
are rich in each of their own rights.
My family and friends told me that I was crazy to fall in
love with Jamaica
in such a short period of time. My minister told me “Son, don’t rush into
this thing. It takes time to know her”.
I told him that when she embraces me with her tropical
breeze, I know that I’m in paradise and loved by the greatest woman in the
world, Jamaica.
When she looks at me every day at sunset with her
orange-golden smile, it is so therapeutic that I need no doctor, just my woman,
Jamaica.

children and some of her most recognized grand-children:

Jamaica’s

Let me share a secret with
you. Riu, Grand Lido, Sandals Negril, Beaches Sandy
Bay hotels are actually owned by few
of Hanover’
children who decided to allow their famous brother Negril who is a
master marketer, to take credit as the owner.
Negril is a capitalist-minded child. He built a place
call Rick’s Café and invites thousands of people to come there daily to watch
my woman Jamaica
gives me my daily Golden-Sunset smile?
Whenever I travel, I always whisper to my woman Jamaica these
words:
“If you see me with another woman, acting like I’m having fun
don’t worry because you are the permanent one.”
Some people are so jealous of our relationship that they try
to break us up by giving my woman Jamaica a bad name locally and
internationally, but I tell them all, when a man truly loves a woman, they way
I love Jamaica, I can’t see no wrong. I will turn my back on my best
friend if he or she tries to break us up.
One night my woman Jamaica came out in a Moon Lit
Negligee. She looks good from all angles. She told me that night,
Theo, stop worrying about all the bad publicity I have been getting because I
am proud to know:
· That one of my
great grandchild son (Colin Powell) is helping out the President of the United States
as Secretary of State.
· I am proud to
know that nuf people are making money off mi great-grandson name, the Honorable
Bob Marley. They even built a Bob
Marley Museum
in Disney World.
· Theo, did you
know that Butch Stewart, the owner of those big airplanes named after me, (Air Jamaica and Air
Jamaica Express) is Mi Great-Grandson?
· I am proud of my
great granddaughter the movie star, Cheryl Lee Ralph. I asked her if she
was talking about the gal my friends always say have Kissable Lips? She said,
yes, that same one.
· When I think of mi other
great-grandson Harry Belafonte, me stand tall. He never lost his Jamaican
accent.
· Mi great-grandson, the
Honorable Marcus Garvey was way before his time. One day the world will
recognize what a great man he was.
· Did you know that Una
Clarke, the New York Councilwoman is also mi great-granddaughter? Yes she
is.
· Louise Bennett is my
personal Cultural Ambassador. Everyone should have one of her books,
tapes or video…She keeps my culture alive!
· Grace Jones is definitely
one of the world’s greatest actresses, and a child after me own heart.
· I have a great grandson by
the name of Dr. Tony Vendryes who travel around the world promoting good
health. Do you know he uses some of my natural remedies that I have
created to cure many sicknesses?
After giving me a birds-eye-view of the accomplishments of
some of her grandchildren, my woman Jamaica turned to me and said,
honey, I am going to take off this Moon Lit outfit and take a nap. I will
put on my Sunrise Gown first thing in the morning just for you. Then I
said, you mean that breathtaking Sunrise
outfit that is in photographs and movies all over the world, and she replied,
yes my love!
I will never forget the day my woman Jamaica turned to me
and said, Theo, even though I have to entertain thousands of visitors from all
walks of life every month, I will never be too tired for you. In fact, I
will always keep the last dance for you so you can take me home!
My woman Jamaica is a lot older than me, but
she looks like a virgin. Every man,
woman and child who visits her, fall in love with Jamaica.
Many have abused her, misused her and capitalized on her,
but she continues to stand tall by not allowing anything to affect her
beauty. Visitors are amazed by her natural beauty and how she has
maintained herself in spite of all the negative propaganda. My woman Jamaica has
learned how to master stress.
Jamaica
is one of the greatest agriculturists in the world. She works hard to
keep her gardens well manicured. Her soil is so rich, that trees and
plants show off their richness with their green healthy looking leaves.
No one within her reach should be hungry because Jamaica made
sure that there is fertile land that anyone can plant food and reap it in a
short period of time…
One of Jamaica’s
children, Mandeville, realized that she had to do something to protect her
mother’s beauty and future, thus, she created Community Tourism. It
invites tourist to enjoy the local culture while protecting the environment,
culture and natural beauty of the region. Are you aware that my great-granddaughter,
Diana McIntyre-Pike plays a vital role in developing and promoting Community
Tourism around the world?
My woman Jamaica,
her future looks good because some of her commercially minded grand children
like Negril is making sure that its hotel are Green Globe Certified.
Jamaica
is so loving that certain birds and plants decided to live only around her and
no where else in the world. You can understand why I am in love with Jamaica.
I realized that Jamaica was very romantic when she
started to send every morning, singing birds to wake me up with their beautiful
music.
Jamaica
is such a playful woman. When I am lying in my Hammock under a tree, she
usually sneaks up behind me and blows all over my body her Tropical Breeze that
sends a feeling of relaxation that I invite you to experience.
Pack your bags, visit one of Jamaica’s
children or come and fall in love with my woman Jamaica…its OK!
