The lake is an enjoyable place!
All I see is my friend’s happy face.
We swim all day long,
Till it turns to dawn.
The next day we come back,
I went to go get a snack
I narrowed my eyes
I didn’t know if I was wise.
I only saw dragonflies
And a lonely fly
Where is my friend?
Has she gone with her best friend?
I felt lonely until
She came out of the water doing a backbend.
As scared I felt,
I saw my friend again
