A Dip in the Springs

Mornings during weekdays, now that’s the time to go!
My state park pass is all I need to show.
It’s very magical to be the only one there.
For I am an Ichetucknee Millionare.



Bright translucent blue our limestone will create.
Fish dart about like underwater birds, there’s turtles and a snake.
These ancient cold clear waters we hold so dear.
A sensory pleasure, this treasure of living here.
