This is another in the Song Cycle series, which would follow 3517 A Street. I don't think I fully appreciated the one year we lived in Coral Gables when my family moved to Miami. #songcycle #threeofus

We landed in Coral Gables When we came south from D.C. A palm tree-lined colony Ours was a small white house

If you lived in Coral Gables You could go to the Coral Gables Youth Center Like a YMCA, only better I learned gymnastics there

There was also a swimming pool Where my sister and I learned to swim It was called the Venetian Pool It still exists today

I went back to Miami 30 years later Coral Gables actually looked better than before In the 90's, all Cuban families lived there Before then, I really don't know

My sister and I ran away once We weren't really angry at our parents More of a protest event We got as far as the end of the block

We stayed in Coral Gables for one year Then we moved to West Miami Where we lived for two more years It was a different time
