Over The Reef

Fear is apart of life
This I know
Yet I still have fear.


I go back now to a dream of the Fly, only this was no dream.

My home town is Monetgo BAY growing up as a boy we had lots of fun,

Montego Bay was surrounded by two big Suger Plantations a Suger Factory,and a Banana Plantation.

Once in two weeks there was a ship to loade with banana or suger this goes on day and night untill the ship was loaded.

I am sorry the History of my home town, I can not tell in full at this time with-out songs , dance, and a story. <the dream>

,


I am a JAMAICAN A BLACK MAN
I know where I am from and I know where I am going. I am Proud of who I am.

I have swim over the Reef turning aroung looking in to the deep deep blue sea ,I saw my-slef ,I know my fears ,I know my slef.

Living here , One has become a simuulated Still I remember swiming over the reef on that Sunday after noon.

I did not know fear then ....

Getting old. Walk good all.dancing dancing dancing dancing

I'm always smiling Wallops, even if there's dark clouds looming. Life is too short to be unhappy, thank you for the nice compliment,,,but then again you always say nice things to everybody, you are really a remarkable woman!dancing dog dancing dog dancing dog
Val, it is easy to be nice to people on here for there are some very lovely people on here.. so nothing remarkable about that, but thankyou for being so kind. I am glad you are smiling. I like to think everyone can be happy grin grin grin
I know Wallops, but here are a few unhappy people too,,,and. My heart goes out to them, sometimes I feel I can just go till there just to give that person a hug and say I'm here for you and its ok. If only things were so simple that I could really do it!heart wings heart beating heart wings

I do not talk about my grand-mothers too much, only with my dauthers, Some times Thay ask things that one must go back in time.

One of my grand morther had only one hand, still she work
ed untill she was 94 years old. my orther gand-mother had 16 children, she did not live so long.

In that time we had to learn how to kill a goat, a pig, fishing and sailing.

If you have Googel earth you will see that Montego bay
has its back to the hills , and before it is only the sea.


Yes I know I am a gandeener only my first love is to the sea.
Hi Fly, coconut Woman, I remember that song, I used to sing it as a young girl . I think you had a wonderful life growing up.
Proud of your roots and of being a Black Jamaican Man.
Walk good and be happy. Everyone has Fear, I think we get more fearful of things as we get older...happy place happy place Be happy in your new home.
Are your parents still alive King Fly? Your grandmother must have been an amazing woman to live so long. I know my grandmother was and she lived till 96. Her mother came from St Helena Island and the father came from Holland.yay
