God Gave Us Southern Living

God Gave Us Southern Living

Many great things to us, God is giving
One such a thing was Southern living
Preverbal place  and always in style
Don't put self through period of denial.

In South much and a lot has occurred
With their luscious living are reassured
Can live like a King or a Queen for a day
When willing to do things Southern way.

Flowers everywhere will forever flourish
And great food is guaranteed to nourish
All awaits and for you it will all befall
Must meet and greet South's beckon call.

When you want shade where you can slumber
See cantaloupe and watermelon with cucumber
Down your rapid pace should start to slow
South truly is perfect place for you to go.

PS. So area can establish a Southern connection,
In local paper should put a poetry section.

I love visiting the south; had family in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida; every trip is wonderful. This poem describes it so well.

Have to confess. We leave on a Norwegian Cruise for Beliz out of Tampa. It was 72 and quite enjoyable here today. Jim Horn
