Deep in the valley of memories

Over the old wooden fence

Lay waters of past thoughts

The lake of Remembrance

As one would stare into the water

Their past would start to glow

With faith in the waters powers

Vivid pictures would begin to show

This lake was one of elegance

The hills to set the scene

Wheat filled pastures standing still

The grass a vibrant green

Legends say the water could heal

The blind, deaf, and weak

Restore strength to those who couldn’t walk

And voice to those who couldn’t speak

One day a lonely stranger found this lake

And to his very surprise

One glance at this very lake

Was enough to open his eyes

Blind to his mind was a past filled with joy

Clouded with doubt and abuse

With all the pain and hurt felt in the present

Was this lake to any use

This lake had finally opened the eyes

Of a man who thought all was lost

With nothing else to lose or gain

This visit was worth the cost

Plans to out this special lake

Were tossed inside his head

Yet fates connection to this day

Had left this idea dead

Deep in the valley of memories

Over the old wooden fence

Laid waters of past thoughts

The lake of Remembrance
