Can I cry (Canadian Lakes)
By Miranda H
Published 22 August 2023
Walking, running, falling,
crying as I go down
children laughing as they swim,
me not making a sound.
They splash while I cry,
smile while I weep
they watch me while I sigh,
a big sigh of grief.
But how could a jealous lake such as me,
do anything more than kill a bee
Waves like the ocean have not I,
Just that family in the cottage waving goodbye
Once they left I cry with deep sorrow
again
and again
and again
and again tomorrow.
