Today we look at a gray lake
A mild breeze and soft low waves.
On the horizon there is a peach
Colored light giving hope to a warm
Afternoon. After waiting so long
For summer to arrive, we see it
Disappearing before our eyes
It has done this at a speedy clip.
We are used to change and soon
We will be waiting for spring and
Hoping it will come early. However
We will take it as it comes and we
Know that we are lucky people to
Be living in a paradise that God has
Given us here on the shores of the
Beautiful Lake Michigan. We like
The gospel saying, “Many are called,
but few are chosen.” We feel that
many wish they could live here but
only a few lucky ones do. We have
no appetite for more than we have
and are thankful for all of God’s gifts
to us. It is for us to take care of His
bounty and that is what we do. We
accept what He gives and takes away.
