The Beauty Of Washington


The Beauty Of Washington

©2002 by Bud Lemire





Driving down each road, taking it wherever it will go

To the waterfront, where the Puget Sound waters flow

Picking blackberries along the roads, that are found everywhere

Everyone has a container, to pick all of their share



Mountains in the distance, oh what a view to see

Snow capped with pink sunset, a beautiful place to be

Airplanes flying overhead, so high up in the sky

Apples to be picked, for juices and for pie



The Pacific Ocean on the western coast, of this wondrous state

Seattle is the heart, that makes this place so great

Forests and parks, where campers always dwell

The “Evergreen State,” caught up in its spell



With British Columbia, Canadian neighbor on the north side

Oregon and Idaho, borders shared with pride

The Ferry that carries people, across the waterway

Brings a special kind of feel, to each and every day



Across the Narrows bridge, to a place that's not too big

Coming from Tacoma, we enter the Harbor of the Gig

Where beauty holds you, deep within each glance

And makes you feel much better, to take on life's dance



I was glad to have had the chance to see the beauty of

Washington state. To experience the sensations of being

right there and seeing each beauty up close, and to take

in the magical moment of each.
