Just Fishing At Ten Mile Creek

Just fishing at Ten Mile Creek

Underneath the crickety old bridge

So many memories were made

Times I like to remember when I think of you

 

Fishing along the riverbank & building a campfire

I recall catching bullheads, perch & bluegill, cooking them in a fry pan

Scenes play in my head of our children playing there

How they use to love to explore the wooded area

I recall the ghost stories you use to tell them

Now & then you would mention such tall tales of

Gargoyles & how they would come out in the middle of the night

 

A treehouse in the distance some other kids built in the tallest of trees

The way you climbed it all the way to the top, waving down at us

 

The times the ice-cream truck would stop on a hot summer's day

Every now & then I fondly recall these memories of us as a family

Nice to spend a day or evening or two camping there with you

 

Many times we journeyed there just the two of us

I recall the romantic times like when I carved our names on a tree

Lying with you side by side along the riverbank & kissing with you

Evenings cuddled up around the fire, the moon & stars shining bright

 

Completely engulfed in romance, making love under a weeping willow

Recall how I use to lay my head on your shoulder for my pillow

Embracing the beauty of nature from sunrise to sunset

Each of these moments I cherish beyond measure, moments I so treasure

Kindly recalling you & I & the kids just fishing at Ten Mile Creek
