Jamaica At 60

There is no place like home I represent the black, green and gold. Out of many, we are one people, driven to succeed Global excellence is our only mission to achieve. Reggae and dancehall are the rhythm and beat in our feet Only champions are born here Marley, Louise Bennett and Bolt are all homegrown. With blood, sweat and tears, we work hard for our own …this is the Jamaican way. I come from a great nation, with people of strength and determination. I am proud to call myself Jamaican. We move to one love and drink our Jamaican white rum …this is the land we love. The aroma of blue mountain coffee mixed in the morning air, the taste of ackee and saltfish with a little roast breadfruit are heavenly delights only a Jamaican can understand, the national dish of our homeland. Look at our smiles we celebrate 60 years in grand style. No matter where we are, yard or abroad with heads held high we are proud to call ourselves Jamaicans. We celebrate Jamaica's 60 years of independence by re-igniting our greatness within all who call themselves Jamaicans. "I am Jamaican"
