Okeefenokee

ABBAJOAN, SISTER AND POETRY

The background music you are listening to is "Somewhere In Time" Now Abbajean has a sister, Abbajoan. In 1995, Abbajean, Baktracker, Abbajoan and her husband, Kermit the Frog went on a trip to Florida and Georgia. One place we were most impressed with was the Okefenokee Swamp. The following poem was written by Abbajoan and is dedicated to Kermit the Frog who has gone over the Rainbow Bridge beyond the sun and the moon to dwell among the stars.

Okefenokee
Okefenokee is such a great place,
You get to meet alligators face to face.
Boat rides on water that reflect like glass,
Reflections so beautiful and with such class.

The Cypress tree, spanish moss and yes, the lily too
Are all a part of natures way to show it all to you.
You can't believe the sights you see everywhere you go,
The swamp, lakes, islands and marsh are all part of the show.

Land of the Trembling Earth, Okefenokee Swamp Park is named
Wilderness areas all around has really brought it fame.
People come to see the place that others talk about
And when they leave this beauty, they can shout.

Leave it alone, let it be
Let it always be wild and free
Keep it wild and always protect it
And the beauty will always reflect it.

So glad I got to see this place
Where all things wild are just a trace
Of all the swamps mysterious ways
Where people come to spend their days.

Beauty, mystery, wild and free
All wrapped up in one
Protect the animals and let them be
Till their life on earth is done.

The description of my page is just serious moments, nonsense, and a lot of fun!

This is copied from a card that Abbajoan sent to Abbajean. Anyone who has a sister will enjoy reading this. It is called:

I'm Glad You're My Sister

Have I ever told you how glad I am that you're my sister?
I'm telling you now because I want you to know how very important you are to me and just how much love there is for you deep within my heart
Too Often, Sister, the beautiful things in life are taken for granted and I realize that you are one of the most beautiful aspects of mine.
That's why it's so important for me to tell you now that you are special to me.
You're more than just family; you are a friend, a confidante, and a shoulder to lean on in times of need.
You're the person I always want to share everything with--each dream, each goal I attain, each sorrow, each joy.
If I have never told you before how glad I am that you're my sister, I'm telling you now.
I want you to know that you mean the world to me, and I love you with all my heart.
