Parking Team Poem by Laura Carie Dalton

This is where I want to be

Standing in the coldness of winter

Standing in the hotness of summer

Directing traffic

Seeing smiles

Hearing the laughter of children

Seeing the golf cart come by

Full of laughing kids

Seeing the smiles on their faces when the cart comes

That’s what I love about the parking team!

The way I’m able to help everyone brings a smile to my face

I see familiar faces when I drive the golf cart

Those faces, those smiles, those people is what keeps me going

I enjoy every moment on the team

From putting on my vest to calling it a night

I live for those moments

During those times, that’s when I shine

I never let my glow leave

I have fun with parking

Even standing in the rain… it’s fun

This is something that I long to do every week

It’s just for less than four hours
But it’s the best part of my week

I find parking a challenge

You never know what is on its way

It could be a new spot or it could be a new route

Whatever the challenge, I will take it

I will take it and be the best

Nothing and no one will stand in my way
