Puerto Rico

Tropical isle of a million moods,
The silent beauty of its rain forest,
Many-colored splendor
Of flowers and birds,
A rich sanctuary of life in every form,
Its people blessed
With a proud Spanish heritage,
Nurtured by the industrial power
Of its United States parent,
Luxury hotels side by side
With quiet mountain villages,
A combination of the best
Of all possible worlds,
A happy island in the sun,
Beckoning me to return...
