Deb Wilson Poet Couplet

Childhood Island Memories

Dad was in the Air Force so we moved quite frequently
Living lots of places there were many things to see

The island of Bermuda was my favorite place by far
Twenty-two square miles,didn't take you long by car

Living near a perfume factory,smelling passion flowers
Bicycling and sailing,we whiled away the hours

Watching deep-sea expeditions right beyond our yard
Keeping us kids entertained sure wasn't very hard!

Playing tetherball with kids of every kind of race
Taught me of diversity,put a smile upon my face

Those are such great memories,things I won't forget
Living in Bermuda was the best adventure yet!



**for Michael Falotico's contest"A Change Of View"

Carolyn Devonshire March 7, 2011 at 2:32 PM Children of military members rarely get a chance to establish roots in one place, but your description of life in Bermuda make me want to visit the island, Deb. And it probably did enhance your appreciation for many cultures to live among them. Very fine entry for Michael's contest. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn
