The orange trees sway in the heat,

With buzzing bees and scents so sweet.

A food truck hums along the street,

Where locals gather, talk, and eat.

 

Kids race through puddles, bikes in flow,

Their laughter rises soft and slow.

 A heron stands near waters wide,

Still as the clouds that drift in the sky.

 

Theme park lights,lines, and rush

And quiet roads and evening hush.

This simple life, both fast and true,

Is Florida in every hue.
