I Am Florida

I am Florida ,paradise
look around and realise
dreams come true
beneath my skies
   azure seas ,a life serene
egrets wade beside the stream

peace surrounds you like a dream
       sailfish and the dolphins leap
     toward the moon out of the deep
     wishing stars will always keep

   promises made on the fly
        shooting stars in summer skies
        kiss your lips and whisper sighs
            come to me where seashells sing
           tales of abalone wings
           bright coquinas,magic things

               Seminoles and Everglades
               Salofcatchee,healing blade
                  Chitamico in the shade
                      I am paradise.
Don't speak to me of summer storms
I rule winter,keep you warm
and you love me for my charm
for I am Paradise.
