As we drove into the hazy sunlight, each tree sang a song of the South; The Spanish Moss and sassafras, rose vividly in front of each house.
Our footsteps hit upon cobblestones, as we walked through the park that day; Where various monuments to local gentry, loomed near lilac bushes on display.
The River Walk was such a surprise, where many locals sold their wares; Food and souvenirs in abundance, and the scent of hydrangeas in the air.
A treat for those of us from the North, to observe life in this lovely town; Where churches stand in high regard, and romance lingers all around.
The warmth of September upon us, we climbed onto the river boat QUEEN; The view from the water was sumptuous, as the light from the boat still beamed.
I'll never forget our quaint little room, that faced the precious park below; A chance to watch the people stroll, wandering off in the evening glow.
Our deck was like a silent chapel, imbued with wine and sunset sighs; We embraced when we heard music, from a man's guitar as he sauntered by.
This wondrous night became a memory, when we reached for the moon so high; Then drank a toast to dear Savannah, as the stars glistened in the indigo sky.
My husband and I spent our 25th anniversary, savoring the sights, sounds and tastes of Savannah, GA.
