Years on the Lake
I am from days catching frogs and turtles in the mucky weedy waters,
swimming with the family in the clear cool water...
ten years ago on the lake.
I am from knee boarding on my mother’s beat up retro kneeboard,
snorkeling on the shallow sea shell covered sand bar...
eight years ago on the lake.
I am from learning how to slalom on the same ski as my siblings,
scuffed knees while tubing with childhood friends...
six years ago on the lake.
I am from the weeks spent fishing in my grey metal boat,
playing capture the flag in the silent still nights with friends...
four years ago on the lake.
I am from finding a way to wake surf behind our blue and white ski boat,
laying in high lofted hammocks beside my brothers...
two years ago on the lake.
I am from learning and practicing flips on my wakeboard,
days spent making memories with friends...
Forever on the lake.
