Silver Lake

Nestled in the upper Midwest

Where the Canadian geese flock-

An awesome sight to behold

When down the path I walk.

Eager to watch and be noticed

The geese sound their little honks,

Waiting for a hand of corn seed

As residents begin the new day.

Looking out into the scenic lake

I take notice of the silver lining,

Reflected by the sun’s shiny light

Of the mid-morning sky of gray.

The sidewalk path near my car

Was filled with goose droppings,

But beyond that mess I had left

The etched memory in my mind.
