A Beautiful Lake

A natural beauty was the lake,

In such a setting most divine;

With the woods and hills make no mistake,

It was perfect were such thoughts of mine.

 

And to look upon right away,

On such beauty I was sold;

Till attention I didn’t pay

To how the water’s ran cold.

 

I thought you know I could get past

The cold with beauty to out weigh

But soon I found I couldn’t last

And so difficult it was to stay.

 

Headlong into that cold lake turned

Where long ago I made the leap;

A foolish boy who in lessons learned

That beauty sometimes ain’t so deep.
