Hope you enjoy my special piece of earth in the pic and the poem


Poem Artwork

My theme park is not a crowded space with neon lights


Little piece of nature’s preserved land just right


Entry fee - none required, just walk right in


Closing time is when you are ready for the visit to end


Massive lots of hot asphalt and miles of cars you won’t see


Just a small stone covered path as the entry


Thrill rides, water slides, and games of chance no way


Grapevine swing, waterfall, and a little fishing all day


Long wrapped lines winding back and forth like toys


No lines just lush green grass to lie on and enjoy


Sun beating down from the sky need for more sun block


Nature’s sun block here is oak treetops


Soda and bottle water four-dollar cash register rings


Use your hand as a cup to drink from the clear cool spring


Candy, hot dogs, popcorn all junk food known to man


Fresh fruit and vegetables all we eat grown on the land


Yes my theme park is not exciting nor draws millions to see


Just God’s creatures and a simple plain guy like me

You have discovered one of the best amusement parks in the world, and luckily, I managed to find one, too.

Thanks for reminding us so eloquently, that the best things in life, are, indeed,free.

Knowing you and how much you adore your land, I can truly appreciate the beauty of this poem. Your heart bursts out of every line.

I love the juxtaposition of your theme park vs. Disneyworld, Universal Studies, Etc. Living in Orlando, Florida I mean I can REALLY appreciate the calm and serenity of your theme park - especially during tourist season which seems to be nearly year round anymore.

Loved the image and the idea both. Well done.
