In Cape Coral's realm, where nature thrives,
A sanctuary for owls, where life survives.
Rotary Park, a haven to explore,
Where tales of wild wonders truly soar.
A festival of feathers, a grand celebration,
For burrowing owls, a cherished population.
Though the center's closed, our spirits soar high,
For adventure beckons beneath Florida's sky.
Butterflies dance in a vibrant flight,
Their colors painting the air with delight.
No walls confine, in this park's embrace,
Nature's canvas blooms in grace.
Exhibits showcase iguanas and a tortoise's grace,
Echoing ancient times in this tranquil space.
Trails wind through glades, where secrets dwell,
Each step a journey, a story to tell.
Beside the lakes, reflections gleam,
A platform awaits, a dreamer's scheme.
From its perch, a vista unfolds,
Where nature's symphony gently molds.
An osprey dives, master of the hunt,
In a moment frozen, a daring stunt.
With camera in hand, memories unfold,
A tale captured, in pixels bold.
And in the shallows, a heron stands tall,
A tricolor sentinel, heeding nature's call.
With patience unmatched, he stalks his prey,
In this dance of life, finding his way.
So let your imagination take flight,
In Cape Coral's haven, where dreams ignite.
For in Rotary Park, where nature's tales swirl,
Adventure awaits, for every boy and girl.
