The Municipal Dock

By Bud Lemire on Jan 31, 2007


On the Municipal Dock
Is where I like to walk
You can see the Oreboats come in
And there are benches for sitting

There are flowers here, with a story of our past
And binoculars for you to see things closer real fast
You’ll always find some people fishing
Just sitting there with a pole, hoping and wishing

The young people go there to swim
They dive off the dock while the day grows dim
Boats will come, and they will dock
Because it’s always a good place to stop

You can see the Sandpoint Lighthouse from here too
And the Harbor Tower makes a fabulous view
The lighthouse on the water, can also be seen
The grass and the trees become a bright shade of green

I ride my bicycle often to this scenic square
I take photographs of the beauty found there
If you sit around watching the clock
Then it’s time you visit The Municipal Dock



Beauty is found many places, if you take the time to look and be aware of what’s around you. The Municipal Dock is in the perfect place for beauty to be magnified, right on the water here in Escanaba, Upper Michigan.
