Lake Erie

By Riverette

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You're there for me when he won't be Greater than the river yet smaller than the sea Your cool wind whips across my face To you I know I'm no disgrace From the first rays of sun on the warm soft sand To the midnight breeze, how it holds my hand The seagulls drift and swoop so gracefully As I hear the waves near silent plea I lie down on your rocks as you catch my tears My hand falls in and you calm all my fears I look out at night and see the unending sky Your beauty makes me pray that I never die Watching every color break over the lake As the sun sets, the sight makes my heart ache From the fireworks over you on the Fourth of July To the days in November when the geese wave good-bye When the ice piles up and sends chills up my spine And the April picnics, on the pier we'll dine My whole life you've been here and forever you'll stay Deep in my heart until I move away But I'll always come visit weather happy or dreary To me you'll always be my home, my Lake ErieThe only good thing about living in this shitty little town Written February 8th, 2001 © on Jan 05 2002 04:17 PM PST    0 • 10
