My Frozen Fountain of Youth

went to VT for the weekend
had a blast and pet the horses
had nothing to worry for a few

didn't think about work or school time
hoped to come home to write this rhyme
'cause I have something to share..

My fountain of youth 
is frozen for for now 
its a beautiful site
I really wish you could be there

I hope that tonight
my fountain is alright
the snow has built a sheet
I really wish you could be there - with me

man made 
but made so well
so close 
you can't tell

--Writer's note--
but forever now I will remember the time I went to my Grandpa's house, as a teenager, and
saw my fountain of youth was frozen with a slight dusting of snow on top. "I really wish
you could be there - with me"
