Florida Nature

Out in the waters of old mem'ries
New beauty to behold each friendly trip
Paddle boating on the ole river.
Set my eyes upon the rocks
Upon which young lovers meet
The wild grasses where boldness reveals
And lonely rivers where we said goodbye.
And as I paddle upon still waters
Roaring with the unanswered questions
On which we ponder daily
The serenity of sweet nothings
Whispered to one another
Upon always listening ears
For those who come to the river
Its majesty divine
Cannot help but be changed
By nature's finest music
The howl of the tress
Mixed with the calm of it all
The sweet melody 
Of lovers introduced
Of the promise of something 
And the ole river I paddle upon
Where the wild symphony continues to play only its finest
