Islands of Many

Mohawk Kaniatarowanenneh 
Meaning Big Waterway
This part of America
I hope to see one day
 
This archipelago of dotted lands
In pictures they look oh so grand
Greenery green, like emeralds that float
Thousands of, natures boats
 
The smallest one only has one tree
Two shrubs, amazingly
A score of them are a National Park
To visit them, i would feel a part
 
The place i would stay
Is called " just room enough "
One of the islands
Just room for a house
 
To wake each morning surrounded by blue
Around me and above me too
The element of me to see this place
If the future's kind, i will grace
 
Heart Island, where Boldt Castle stands
With it's Disney shape and it's garden lands
Bought for a dollar in 1977
With it's visitor proceeds, to turn it to heaven
 
This beautiful place
That nature delivered
Is a thousand islands
On the St Lawrence River

It sounds like a dream place. I have been to Nigeria Falls which is part of this but haven't seen much else. Keep writing. Sara

Sounds like a beautiful getaway. Maybe I will get there one day if only in my dreams. You certainly know how to paint a vivid paradise!
