That great river, the Potomac.
Means so very much to me.
In our nation's capitol,it's full
of American history and glory!
As a teen, our high school
visited that famous city in
this great American nation.
Such an excited class with
Samsonite luggage at that
train station!
All dressed in nice skirts and
sweaters.
Actual, leather shoes, made
in this nation.
Nuns for companions, they
were good women and kind
And of course, to be sure, we
stayed morally in line.
The monuments, granite and
marble, took your breath away.
Pride in my American soul,
will never stray.
Of course, I am aware how
some Americans and others
cannot see through my eyes.
To them..America and its
citizenry are something to
despise!
I stood at Lincoln's overwhelming
feet and I had to just smile.
Because from that moment on,
I became, forevermore....
America's blessed child!

She sat in her two-piece green and navy plaid bathing suit.
Alone, this beautiful, serene teen!
Her tan knees drawn to her chest, the loving,wonderful lake
water gently dripping down her gorgeous, tanned back.
The lapping of the gentle waves beneath the wooden pier upon
which she sat.
The sun.....setting so softly behind the versant trees.
It's golden reflection on her sleepy lake.
Summer's end~ ah,her brown eyes filled with tears.
Watching her season friend disappear in that sunset's
gentle, loving hands.
The boats, the fishing, oh that beautiful wind, rustling
Through tall trees, as she in a hammock lay.
She would go home by train in the morning.
Carrying her Samsonite luggage, with gleaming initials.
Bidding adieu to her loving, joyful, summer land.
So wonderfully endearing!
And the kisses she tasted on sugary, summer starlit evenings.
