    Hubert Winston Anderson

    My name is Hubert Winston Anderson. I am the third eldest in a family of six, and that is four boys and two girls. Because I always loved and enjoyed reading and writing, I devoted a lot of my spare time just to do so in the reading of Biblical stories, historical books, fiction, non-fiction and good old story books, and of course magazines and news print.   As I moved about my business in life, I always have with me my pen and a pocket book, where I scribble all the little thoughts and ideas that blossomed in my mind. At some later date I would sit down, relax my mind and make those lines into more interesting readings, and this is why I was able to compile all these poems, verses and quotes.   My schooling was grade eleven, and from there I went into the police force then did some travels working at many jobs. I took a course in bookkeeping with the London school of Business from where I received a certificate in book-keeping.   While I was at school and in grade seven, I penned this little poem, and of course was given high marks by my teacher.                                                 >Smoking<                   Cigarette or tobacco to me is a nasty weed,                    The devil is the only person or idiot to sow the seed,                    Because, tobacco only picks your pocket and burn your clothes,                   Furthermore its smokes just make a chimney of your nose.   My teacher who did not smoke and who really dislike people who smoke was very proud of me, so my poem was displayed in the school. From such time I really felt inspired to write my own poems some day. I hope and trust you will enjoy reading these poems, as I have another book of poems that I hope will be on the market very soon.                                                                Thanks.          Hubert Winston Anderson.

      * Preface *

      Poems … Verses … Quotes … Various titles.

      * Introduction *

      To all readers of this book, please note my name is written below, and I was born in a little district called Oxford in the parish of St. Mary, Jamaica in the West Indies.

      I am one of six children that were four brothers including myself and two lovely sisters, from a wonderful and lovely mother and father, whom I believed were the very best parents created by God in the world. They were not rich in cash, but for sure they were more than rich in God’s wonderful blessings of good ideas, instructions, guidance and directions for their children, and even for other children.

      I recalled as we grew up with our parents, and in all life’s beautiful ways, they were always giving us the best and most caring advice as to how we must conduct ourselves in our future lives as we marched into our responsibilities. Those things we all knew today, as their instructions and advices had proven to be more than correct as we took on responsibilities of our own. I recalled they told us never to steal, or be dishonest with anyone in any way, never to tell lies, or get ourselves involved in any problems with the law, never to covet anyone for anything they have got, never to be involved in gangs and never to get ourselves involved in other people’s private business.

      They advised us to mind our own business at all times, to always look up and aim high with good ambition as our goal. Today we all did not reach our goal or to the heights of greatness we had hoped for, but still we are not down, out and cold. Thank God we can still hold our heads in high esteem, and still be happy regardless of what we have achieved. My father gave us these words to keep in mind as we go through life, and for sure I never forget them. Writing makes me a correct and exact person; Reading will make us knowledgeable; and Conference will make us, fully up- right and fearless in all our goals. These words were perfect for us in all our everyday tasks, so maybe those words helped and inspired me at this time to be able to write these poems, so thanks a lot my wonderful father.

      Adhering to my lovely parent’s advices, and as I tread along life’s difficult, discouraging and tough pathway, I kept reading and writing a lot as I always enjoyed doing. Sometime ago I decided to try my pen and ink in writing something, so immediately I went about my thoughts and ideas of writing this book of poems.

      Please note carefully that I am not a trained or experienced writer, although in my mind and heart, I felt as if was a born writer of my own ideas and of other things. I really hope you will find something in this book that could be very interesting and satisfying to your desires. Thanks.

      Hubert Winston Anderson

      101 Poems

      (1) My Writings.

      I was never trained to be a writer,

      In just the way I was never a baby sitter.

      Comments and criticism are welcome,

      And that is expected from some.

      My words and writings are my own thoughts,

      By no one had I been ever taught.

      So read and digest, as sometimes you may laugh,

      But while I was writing, I never felt any wrath.

      These lines are subjects for comments and criticism,

      But, read keenly, there are lots of rhythms.

      So, read, enjoy and have some fun,

      With the light inside and outside in the sun.

      It’s the love I really have for words,

      For sure they are better than swinging a sword.

      So readers, I am very happy with myself,

      Read all my friends, before stocking them to the shelves.

      ………………………………………….

      (2) My relatives.

      Mother and father, God bless you both, for sure,

      For we as your children always cared.

      Born and grown in lovely St. Mary town,

      There you both took care of us as your own.

      We are a lovely and Godly united family,

      So I knew we are truly blessed from eternity.

      Depressed moments we shared at times,

      But we emerged from them without any crimes.

      A family brought up to love and unite,

      Each and everyday, God made so bright.

      Hungry at times, but were still filled with life,

      Just the way we were happy flying our kites.

      A family, true in spirit heart and love,

      God seemed to create us more like doves.

      Sure, we never differ from our love and unity,

      And never will do, even after eternity.

      ………………………………………….

      (3) My school days.

      I remember my early morn awakenings,

      I had to do so, just for my schooling.

      I recalled the wonderful and warm days,

      We together had lots and lots of
