Our Beautiful Pledge
By jamaican • Jul 15th, 2007 • Category: Jamaica, Lead Story, LiteratureBefore God and all mankind
I pledge the love and loyalty of my heart
The wisdom and courage of my mind
The strength and vigor of my body
In the service of my fellow citizens
I promise to stand up for justice, Brotherhood and peace
To work diligently and creatively,
To think generously and honestly
So that Jamaica may, under God,
Increase in beauty, fellowship and prosperity
And play her part in advancing the welfare
of the whole human race.
Most of us don’t think like this anymore, its all dog eat dog. When i was in High School and Preparatory School, we had to recite this every morning, hand on left breast at full attention, we saw it as a bother then but i think we should continue it to this day, meditate on the words and see what they mean to you.
