A Long-Lost Friend
A Long-Lost Friend
Dedicated to Chippewa Lake Park
When did you die
When did everyone turn on you
There were so many children
Who laughed with you
And squealed as they sat with you
And you were dependable
There year after year
As we grew up we looked for you
But after so many years
You were forgotten
Disregarded
Left to die a slow death
To rot away into dust
I am one of those kids
One who you helped smile
I will never forget you
And neither will anyone else
History will make sure of that
