Dear Editor,
I saw hope last night. I heard hope last night in St William Grant Park, downtown Kingston, at the Kingston and St Andrew Corporation's Annual Christmas Tree Lighting event.
All in attendance stood for the National Anthem, played by a musician on a keyboard. As the musician concluded the traditional first verse of the anthem and was walking off the stage, and everyone started to sit; I heard it.
It began almost as a whisper and grew louder. Gradually it dawned on me, and everyone else, that the children's choir from Hagley Park Primary -- none older than 13 -- and who would perform later, remained standing and had begun to sing the second verse of the anthem.
All heads turned in their direction and everyone remained standing and sang with them.
Thank you, Hagley Park Primary. There is hope.
