OPPOSITE COASTS... by Calico Carol

Moving day looms nearby,
In mid-December, winter's sky;
Clouds float o'er, this Florida house,
And, clear blue heavens, await out west.

Here I sing of tropic pleasures,
Lakes, and rivers, gulf bay fishes;
Mountains surrounded by desert sands,
There,lift my voice in hallelujahs.

This peninsula, hot and humid,
Threatening hurricanes, and alligators;
While California shakes and bakes,
My songs praise God, everywhere.
