My Beautiful Virgin Isles

These islands were discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, and because there were so many, they reminded him of St. Ursula and her eleven thousand virgins. The Virgin Islands are some of the most beautiful islands in the West Indies. The British Virgin Islands is known as the yachting capital of the world. Many people come here on vacation or on a cruise because of the beauty, the healthy climate, the friendliness of the people, and the serenity they can have when they make the place their home.

As you read these poems, you will see the beauty and feel the friendliness that make up these beautiful islands.
