GULF PORT, FLORIDA

A community lined with old houses.
A Florida from the past.
Soft breezes bathe our inner beings.
An escape from winter back home.
Treasures to remember and savor
until Alabama’s chill blossoms into spring.
The air of lush green and fragrant flowers
surround us.
Gulf Port, a small town with shops
and restaurants.
Music fills our hungry ears,
background tunes like in the movies.
People walk dogs and stop to chat.
Palm trees and Spanish moss
wave “goodbye” as we make our way
toward home.
