Pictures in the Clouds and Come to the Lake

               I used to lie in the lawn with my neighbor, and she and  I used to picture what we could see in the clouds.  You never know what's up there.        

                                           Pictures in the Clouds

                                What can I see in the clouds today?

                                 A bear sitting on his great, white throne,

                                 A lion roaring from the top of his home.

                                    Oh how so big, puffy and pink

                                    They seem to picture everything

                               The sun is setting behind the clouds

                                 The pictures seem to fade away.

                                 The dark would appear and seem to stay,

                                    But no! Oh no, it will come back soon

                                          I will just have to wait.

                                Pictures in the clouds. 

               A quite evening by the lake or any place of piece-full of serenity-is a nice place to be.  Hey, that's my backyard down to the last detail, Jack! 

                                                Come to the Lake

                                              The sky was so blue

                                              I knew what to do,

                                              So I took a snooze by the lake.

                                              The frogs on the rocks,

                                               The trees singing to me,

                                               'What a glorious day

                                                  to come to the lake.
