ODE TO REDUIT BEACH, ST. LUCIA by Krystal Volney
Oh the joys of Reduit Beach in St. Lucia
Where I swam in the Aqua Sea in delight,
With my cousins by my side, we danced and were at leisure,
Creating memories that will last all life.
My Aunts and Uncles, wise and full of grace,
Shared information of our family from tiny to the Great,
Of ancestors who braved the salty seas,
And founded our lineage, strong and free.
We strolled along the sandy shore,
With luncheons at the hotel's restaurant, we adored,
Feasting on fresh food, laughter and cheer,
Our bond as strong as the ocean's gear.
The waves caressed the seashells, with soothing sounds,
As we discussed our family's history profound;
Stories of love, hope, and perseverance,
Echoing through the generations' essence.
Oh, Reduit Beach, you are a treasure true,
A haven for our family, pure and through,
Where we gathered, laughed with warmth as a crew,
Forever bonded, our hearts forever in the Caribbean blue.
