A Day On the Lake

Early in the morning
With a cup of coffee in hand,
I head out back to the old boat
Awaiting my command.

As I untie the rope
Excitement rushes over me,
For across the water,in the distance
The morning glow of sunrise I  see.

The day is just perfect
I can't wait to get out there,
And feel the sun upon my face
And breathe in ther calming air.

The water is sparkling like diamonds
As they shimmer , glitter, and prance,
Oh, this  lake is so beautiful
Doing  it's early morning dance.

It's going to be a good day
Already I can tell,
I will be out here sailing
Until I hear the evening bell.

Then I will head for home
Today will be a memory,
But I will never forget
The pleasure the lake gave to me.
