Sunshine State


The sun kisses each small soul as it rises The pathway is lit to every broken dream Even when Charlie pulled at the weak heart strings Every smile shines brighter as legs grew stronger Time paired with money Now is taught with patience and care Here reality is like the family film Nature and friends is just a fingertip away This home is like paradise, a smothering love Here is the southern comfort The leaves do not change their colors The seasons are just summer and spring Even if the wind arrives on a cold night It whispers gently and never chills the bone There is perseverance in life's tough journey Here is the Sunshine State, Dreams never die, they begin

This poem was inspired by Florida. Once I moved from New York to Florida, I fell in love with the people and comforting atmosphere here.
