I remember a geeky young lad
Now many years ago,
Who was quite a clumsy sort--
But he tried real hard, don't you know!

Each summer the family went camping
At a place called Indian Lake,
In Michigan's upper peninsula
And in fishing and swimming partake.

There was one particular summer
This younster just got really brave,
And wanted to learn water-skiing
It looked like much fun he would have!

And maybe just prove to the others
He was talented after all,
He'd do anything thing to prove it
And knew he'd take many a fall!

It took many tries to get started
But so determined was he,
He'd try 'til he finally succeeded
Just to prove to himself, he could ski.

And finally it came all together
At least, a few seconds, his hope,
The only thing, that when he went down--
None had told him to "Let go of the Rope!"

Can you imagine his humiliation
After all of his efforts to ski,
He still proved all his clutsy persona
I know, 'cause that fellow was me!!!


              


No Better Place do I know
Than where Hearts knit as
one,
For in that grand
experience,
The Better ALL become.

God Bless us All!!!

David,
  WOW! This really brings back the memories, I remember hollaring as loud as I could,
"Let Go Of The Rope!" LOL Great memory Bro!

Moonbeams radiate
When the veiling cloud has passed
Playful shadows dance

no clumsier than i was at that age! Sis

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
