Ongoing birthday celebrations and best wishes for Rihanna our outstanding Bajan Icon!

By Stanley Collymore 

You're an officially declared by 

a statute of Government and 

similarly universally, openly
accepted by us Bajans independently:

at home and globally as actually one 

of our thoroughly distinguished, and 

rather proudly, officially designated,

National Heroes who discernibly as 

well as impeccably, unquestionably 

have lived up to the high standards 

that we Bajans most commendably 

distinctly adhere to! And therefore 

with Barbados in the full company 

of our proud Bajans having simply 

rather marvelously and effectively 

appropriately, publicly celebrated,

your darling birthday, on Tuesday 

the 20th February 2024! Naturally 

a literal measure, of your intrinsic 

worth and most crucially the true 

value of yourself that this poem is  

written on your rather special day  
but very consciously posted after  
these actual celebrations as part  
of the ongoing tribute, and rather  
heartfelt congratulations actually   
coming you lovely way Rihanna!

Author's Remarks: 

As we Bajans lovingly and accordingly acceptingly say to each other - You're one uh we! And always will be. And, as well, here's to many more distinctively wonderful birthdays in the fire!  
 
God Bless Our National Hero, Rihanna!
