Errol Barrow Day

The History books have already been written so I don’t purport to have any information here that you don’t already have access to.  Please allow me to humbly express my sentiments.  I have nothing to give to this hero’s memory but my pursuit of enlightenment, knowledge, understanding and happiness, all part of the legacy which he wanted so much for his people.

 

Errol Barrow Day

Every Bajan should celebrate in a special way

Remembering our hero who was born on this day

Realizing the wonders that he had done

Opportunities sowed from whence our pride sprung

Lords and Sirs, Honorable and the ordinary man too

Barrow lived to uplift all of you

And freed us from our Imperial ties

Royal chains which limited our mind’s eyes

Restrictions no longer bind our hands

Our skills compete favorably with foreign lands

We have progressed to be a number one country

Developing in our social standings, education and economy

And as you delight in your successes tomorrow

You must remember we owe it all to Errol Walton Barrow
