Sea, sun, and sand… Is my dear sweet St. Maarten’s land… Blessed with a touch of unspeakable culture that reigns and spreads across the land… The Friendly Island is what we’re known to be… A place I call home that is so dear to me.
On this day November 11th we celebrate a memorable day, we were discovered and came to life I’m so proud to say.
St. Maarten is my home, and yes this is my land. Collectively diverse and blessed I’m to take the stand. To always speak of your glory. And hope all others will see, this place called the friendly island it means so much more to you and me.
I from here!! Is my motto...that no one can take away from me. My navel string is so buried under the St. Rose Hospital tree.
St. Maarten is a true gemstone that I always plan to lift up… and on this day I decided to stand up and yes speak up. Because it hurts to see that our country can’t seem to get it right...they’re fighting the wrong battles that are noticed in plain sight.
Start focusing on the people and hear their silent cries... give them something to look forward to instead of turning a blind eye.
Let’s come together as one country...and prove all others wrong ... and bring St. Maarten back to life of the melodic “Oh sweet St. Maarten song”… that’s been engraved in our hearts and so the future generation will see. Why they call us the friendly island and also for others to see.
That united we are one country split down from French to Dutch… and together we’re going to show them why St. Maarten means so much to us.
We are the chains of mountains green and Soualiga is our name. Oh how we love our paradise with nature’s beauty and so very nice... Oh sweet St. Maarten we love thy name... and anyone who comes here will never be the same. For they’ve experienced this precious gem we call home… and now St. Maarten is a place they will always call home. It’s planted in their memories and engraved in their hearts stone... and to you my county my island the place that will always be my home...
A blessed St. Maarten’s Day I bid to you as you sit on your royal throne.
