Caribbean Poem: “Beaches” by Grannyeri

29 Apr

Source: All Poetry
Written By Grannyeri

Blue-Orchid-Villa-Providenciales-leeward-beach

White hot sand to run in,
golden sun shining down.
Blue waters washing on the shore,
not one reason to ever frown.

Caribbean holiday,
all inclusive, it’s the best.
Winter blues, we left up north,
this place leaves me impressed.

Strong people do not have to win, they just are not willing to let other people walk all over them on the outside.

Sure, some people might be afraid of you. But that is only because they do not understand how you can be so comfortable with yourself that you do not need anyone else to validate you.

Here are eight signs that you have a strong personality that might scare some people: Continue reading
