                                           A Paradise Island

                             A piece of land dropped from heaven
                                 In the midst of the vast ocean,
                                     An offspring of a volcano,
                              Or as some may wish just to spin:
                               The Lord made this island primo
                                  And then paradise as its kin.

                               It`s a land of sun, sand and sea,
                                    A charming little paradise
                                For those in person wish to see,
                                 A peaceful retreat for the wise,
                                  A boon in the warm sea to lie
                                And a gem for sea sports to try.

                                It is a land where the sun shines 
                                Not with a hot, but a warm shine
                             All round the year, round the seasons;
                                Here quite shy is the summer sun
                                      To set behind the horizon
                                And chime a wonderful day`s end.


                                  It is a land where the shoreline
                                    Is greeted by sandy beaches
                              White as far can stretch the eye line,
                            Where under palm trees one can feast,
                             Where one can bask in the warm sun
                              Or mark one`s print on sand for fun.

                              It` s a land where the turquoise sea 
                                 Bordered by a deep fringing reef
                                   Makes a peaceful inviting plea
                                 For thrilling swims beyond belief,
                                    For waterskiing, windsurfing,
                                      Snorkeling or scuba diving.

                               It`s a land where one can just doze
                                 On the peaceful white sandy beach
                                        In the shade of filao trees
                                  Lulled by sweetness of music free
                                 From the perpetual ebbs and flows
                                   Of mild waves within easy reach.

                                 It`s a land where southerly breeze
                               Tempers mid day heat without cease,
                                Gives birth to to a short spell of rain
                               That quenches the thirst of the plains
                                   At night and lulls one to refresh
                                 And rise up next day fully blessed.

                             It`s a land where streams speed to rest
                                     At their predestined destiny
                                  At the mouth of the pristine sea
                              And mountains stand erect as thumbs,
                                  As angels seated down and dumb
                                  Or as mothers with triple breasts.

                                        It is a land of adventure,
                                       A dreamy heavenly island
                                   Pitched amidst beauty of nature
                                  Named Maurits van Nassaueiland
                               By the Dutch and christened by name
                                    Of Mauritius; it proudly bears
                                The flag of pristine charm and fame
                                     That drive visitors without fear
                              From the depth of their heart and veins
                                     Oft and anon, times and again
	                           To the land of sun, sand and sea
                                        And their paradise destiny.
