You And Me And The Muddy Maumee River

You And Me And The Muddy Maumee River

A Poem by Deborah Leah Krempa

You & me & the muddy Maumee River

Oh, how lovely it is during all four seasons of the year

Up on the rocks watching the boats pass by

 

A lake freighter going under the Martin Luther King Bridge now & then

Next to me, you would sit holding my hand and tell me your dreams

Dreams that one day we'd own a yacht & sail away into the distance

 

Make believe

Everything would be okay

 

A wish upon the brightest star come evening

Now & then a catfish would jump & leave rings in the water

Dancing with you under the moonlight was such a delight

 

The town lit up at night, a lovely American flag waving in the breeze

Home is wherever you & I are together

Embracing such moments as this

 

Most often in summer you can hear music from the parties at parks

Under the stars you can watch the fireworks on holidays & the 4th of July

Drive on down to the east riverbank in winter & see all the Xmas lights

Dine at the restaurants & cafes, or just walk along the boardwalk

You & I

 

Maybe once in a while catch a ballgame at Fifth Third Field or take in

A concert at the Toledo Sports Arena, both located in the center of town

U & me & the muddy Maumee River

Makes a lovely time spent together as a pair

Ending our enchanted evenings at home

Every now & then you & I use to sit on these rocks and share these dreams

 

Reflections of you & me & the muddy Maumee River

I often visit this place, many years have passed, and so have you

Very serene the river is flowing today, it reminds me of us

Every now & then, a smile comes to my face

Remembering you & me & the muddy Maumee River
