A Glistening Stream
by Kathleen Chambers

As I sit on my own by a glistening stream
I look at the water and start to dream
I gaze in it's depth and I want to know
What treasures there are in the water below

Pennies that were thrown to see where they'd go
A small yellow mitten that fell off in the snow
A ring that was lost on a hot summer day
It slipped off of a finger and drifted away

Now the wind is cool and I fear I must leave
But my mind is so grateful for this small reprieve
My cheeks are rosy and my eyes they now gleam
All because I took time to sit by this stream

[Billie]

Thanks, Amy. :) Do you know how much I look forward to Amy's Place each day and see what our poets have written for our welcomes! Think Bob must have run out of 'long paper' for his poetry machine! LOL! Cute, short and sweet poem today - riverboat rides are the most fun!
