Salute To The Sons Of The Soil

The submissions of Cheese-on-Bread continue to be a source of inspiration. It is amazing how the first selection had personal acquaintances and former colleagues of mine.

 

Salute To The Sons Of The Soil

Such talent and so friendly

Alfred Pragnell was great company

Lots of laughs and professional to the core

Unveiled his skills and knowledge galore

The nation celebrates his legacy

Enjoyed Holetown Festival and his comedy

Then he weakened and his time drew nigh

Only, I never got a chance to say good-bye

The summer last I saw a old friend

Her acting life had long transcend

Expectant boundaries we set for our own

She became a star and very well known

One day she was a neighbor smiling at me

Now Bajan Queen of Drama, a celebrity

Star in US film like Street Legal and more

Our Alison Sealy-Smith returns for encore

Folks in Barbados should be very proud

This literary genius was suitably endowed

His no nonsense professionalism was kind

Exceptional management, a rare find

So working with him was uplifting for me

Organization, scheduling and efficiency

I salute these icons on Bajegirl’s list

Looking out for the others who lie amidst
