“Lighthouse Glow”

The sun’s illumination

Just before sunset

Is the natural lens and lantern

For this tiny replica of a lighthouse

That stands in the harbor

The nautical theme is fitting

For this popular 22,745 acre lake

Known as Lake Ray Hubbard

As a teen I water skied with friends

In my thirties, I spent many hours

On Seadoo’s with my late best friend

That lost her battle with Cancer

It will be eleven years

This coming Mother’s Day

I have treasured memories that

Were made on these waters

Now, in my fifties I return to the shores

To snap pictures and remember

The laughter and good times

Images flash through my mind

Of days gone by

The precious memories grow

Standing in the shadow

Of the lighthouse glow~
