Glacier

              Glacier

                    On a hike through Glacier National park

                               I carved on a tree’s bark

                         The lake water was fresh and cold

                     The birds sang the stories they were told

                    The trees were of various shades of green

                             Sunglasses would be so keen

                        The glaciers were a beautiful sight

                          Rays from the sun were so bright

                   Despite the people, a Mountain Jay perched

                                 For its prey it searched

                       On a path I sidestepped some scat

                   A hissing sound came I thought I heard a cat

                        Fresh glacier water ran into a lake

                                 Oh! Look, I see a snake

                              I took off my socks and shoes

                         For if I did not cross, I would loose

                               I waded through the water

                         For I am Mother Nature’s daughter

               My family and I sat on a log talking and laughing

           I waded back through the water, it wasn’t as shocking

                    As I hike away a frown forms on my face

                    For I do not want to leave this place

                   Oh what a sight your face will be

          When you hear my memory of Glacier and me
