Lake Shore Drive

Lake Shore Drive

by Bud Lemire on April 13, 2005

As I take a trip down the Lake Shore Drive

I'm taken in by the creatures, who are so alive

Squirrels gathering food for their next meal

Closer to nature, is how I feel

The sun shining down on a beautiful scene

The lake so blue, and the grass so green

The trees with its branches, a sight so grand

God's presence is felt, throughout this land

The Escanaba city band is playing, on a Wednesday night

As I sit on the hill watching, everything feels alright

Out to Aronson's Island, for a trip on my bike

To take in more beauty, of a wonderful sight

Down around the water plant, and the Historical Museum for a ride

And a trip through the past, when I go inside

By the yacht harbor, and the municipal dock

I get off my bike, and go for a walk

There's the lighthouse, I see it out there

Ad I take in the beauty, that is seen everywhere

When I take a ride, down the Lake Shore Drive

I'm reminded of the things, that keep us alive

This is my memory of the Lake Shore Drive here in Escanaba Michigan.

A wonderful place to see so many beautiful things.
