My Lovely Costa Rica Poem by JOHNNY COBB

My Lovely Costa Rica



My lovely Costa Rica,
I'd fly 1000 miles
To visit with the Ticos
And see their pretty smiles.

Fifty Methodists on a dental missionary trip
Helped serve 500 people; and oh, the time did zip.
Filled cavaties, tooth extractions, cleanings & flossing too
Though I'm the only pharmacist, dental assistant is job 2.

Passed instruments, loaded syringes, anything I could.
Got a kick out of the monkeys dropping mangoes on the roof.
The people were so appreciative; they couldn't thank us enough.
We spoke a foreign language, but we understood their love.

Watched the sun set in the Pacific,3 blocks from our work-site.
Then thanked God for my blessings as I walked home at night.
Saw Irazu and Arenal volcanoes; rain forests are the place to roam.
White-watered on the Pacuare River,18 miles of cold, wet foam.
