A Love Song

a pleasant tune

lyrics of gold

promises made

emotions bare

convincing words

from deep within

written for

the one he loves

sincere throughout

infused with hope

devoid of doubt

success assured

but what of pain

he must endure

perhaps he's young

and doesn't know 

 

Upper Michigan

a land of water

rocks and snow

of conifers

and pebbled beach

scoured by ice

lashed by storms

its beauty born

of violence

home to moose

wolves and bear

where eagles soar

mergansers fish

a rugged place

for hardy souls

where life relies

on nature's gifts
