Memories At the Lake

Moving to Lake Shore sites was definitely cool Our home was so large and faced the water Cameron fixed up an old boat We held hands on the dock He taught me how to cast a line and bait a hook He caught catfish, crappie and sometimes perch One night our dog got lost so we started a search Our friends joined us and we went out to look He'd seen birds and chased the whole flock Feathers stuck to his coat In June we had a visit from my granddaughter It was summer break so she was off school She had not swam anywhere other than a pool She wanted to fish so grandpa taught her She loved to splash, swim and to float She'd sunbathe on a rock She didn't like to clean fish but she would help cook Summer at the lake was the best on earth 01/06/2021 Written for contest, A Little Memory-My Invented Form Sponsor, Constance La France
