Saying My Tender Goodbye To Willow Grove

                    ...  ahh, Willow Grove where my hair would whip my face with the                                                                strength of thy wind,

                           ... where we watched ships a sailing and wonder where thy waters take
                                                           a vessel.

                 

                                    ... and played my summer afternoons and prayed not to end,

                                                       
                                             this day, while the sun is kissing my skin.

oh,Willow Grove, thou hast brought

smile to my face and in wondering awe,

where did thy beauty came ?

                                                 
                                  what did thy maker think whilst His hand formed thee ?
                         has He thought of me ? has He thought that one day I will
                            come this way and capture my heart in reverence?
                                                                 

                                                   
                                       Goodbye Willow Grove, we have seen thy splendor
                                                    four seasons in a row !


Note: Willow Grove is where we spent our lazy afternoons in Longview, Washington.We watched the ships go by. We picked our favorite rocks,played, barbequed and brought home interesting drift wood that adored my garden spots.We all loved Willow Grove !
