The Fishing Hole There is a very special place, on the Manatawny creek Where the Ironstone comes washing down, the two discretely meet One meandering creek, one smaller stream, swirl in a kind of bowl And many years ago that was my father’s fishing hole It was a secret he kept well, for no one figured out Where he would fish when he was young to catch those rainbow trout But now the secret has been found, I passed there yesterday And noticed someone fishing as I glanced down yonder way It’s as though they were intruding on my father's special place Though he’s been gone for years, I felt the pain upon his face For he told be of his fishing hole before he passed away I never saw a fisherman there until this very day And so I dared to wander near, intruding on their fun But as I near approached, it was my grandson and my son Elizabeth Santos |

Liz: This is so wonderful! I enjoyed reading this poem very much. I can just guess who whispered in their ear where to catch the best fish, granddad from heaven. Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. ell |

This is truly heart-warming...a touch of nostalgy...a hint of familiarity...I like this *S* If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues™ |
