Lake George

I'm sitting on a terrace 
And I'm looking at the lake,
So far from views I mostly see
It seems like a mistake.

This afternoon's a wedding, 
Which is why we made the trip,
And I am glad to be here
Giving my routines the slip.

Of course I miss the grandkids,
For our Fridays make me smile,
But opportunities like this
Come once in a great while.

So I'll savor my relaxing
And the vista in my gaze,
Soaking up the peace and quiet 
On this loveliest of days.
