Silver Lake

Silver Lake My lake shows its silver lights And ruffled green, And white-capped eves, On Silver Lake. In summertime away ago, Picnics were packed, Pallets rolled, sailboats passed, On Silver Lake In fall, my silver lake Saw football throwing For Dad and sons By Silver Lake. In spring ducklings swam, Old men fished, In forest green water, On Silver Lake, Waves roared and splashed; Nights of glass reflections, Just watching, meditations, On Silver Lake On crystal winter's silver lake Ice pads floated, Swans puffed feathers, On Silver Lake. We kissed by Silver Lake

So many lovely images and memories, Sunlite. Silver Lake appears to be an attraction for both young and old. ~ Regards // paul

This was enchantingly beautiful Sunlite. We had a Silver Lake where I grew up as well as Lake Oberst, Senoirs Lake and Garrison Lake but Silver Lake was by far the prettiest of the bunch. This poem really brought back some memories to me especially "We kissed by Silver Lake"
