Winters In Florida 2

sestets Florida winters are not so keen. Walking the beaches, I keep seein’ "my kids" or at least their dead ringers. Can’t say I miss wet, sticky fingers, cold shoulders, icy stares from my teens. It’s warm hugs I miss, hugs that linger. I can’t wait to get back home to Maine and be welcomed by arms unrestrained. Her weather left to God’s good graces; Maine is not the coldest of places. Of her stark wind and ice I’ll complain, but she holds the warmest embraces.
