Poetic Bloomings Vacation

Orlando Vacation 

My daughter and I did Orlando
after her college graduation.
Sea World, The Epcot Center,
Universal Studios, The Blue Man Group,
an Arabian Knight show.

The weather wasn’t warm
or cold, it was as if Florida
thought that the other states
would be jealous if it got too hot
so it made its guests
keep their sweaters on.  

Decorated Christmas trees
stood by Micky Mouse shaped hedges.
 Christmas carols played on loud speakers
giving it an other-worldly feeling. 

By the time we headed east
toward the Kennedy Space Center,
we were exhausted and ready to go home.
We would have skipped it
if we hadn’t already purchased
the tickets. So glad we went.

 The IMAX Hubbell Space program
was the highlight of the trip for me.
Truly looking at other worlds.
Feeling very small.
Overwhelmed, with the thought
that despite human puniness
God still loves us.
