Wah Drop Offa Head Wi Drop Pon Shoulda


"Wah drop offa head wi drop pon shoulda."

Translation:  What drop off you head will drop or land on your shoulder.

What does this mean?  I was talking to an elder client a few days ago -  I'm mentoring her granddaughter so I asked her if she knew I was mentoring her granddaughter - she answered in the affirmative and thanked me, so I said to her "you do so much for others, you do prison ministry and so much volunteer work, so "wah drop offa head wi no drop pon shoulder"!  She laughed, said she hasn't heard this in a long time.  So, the essence of this proverb is that when you do good, it will flow down to your loved ones!  My niece Nicole and I talked about that just yesterday, she is the most lovely young lady you could meet so I admonished her to continue to be who she is - do good and keep your thinking straight, you will continue to receive favour and blessings.

Do not be weary in well doing because "wah drop offa head wi drop pon shoulda"!
