Swimming In The Cuyahoga
By Lord R.e. Taylor
I would love once again
On a hot summer day
Just a chance to swim again
In the waters of the Cuyahoga River
Just below a dam the size of a mountain
But that was so awfully long ago
In time the water has changed
The dam and surrounding land have changed
And even I have also changed
So, the feelings would no longer be there
Of course, there would be feelings
But they could never be the same
However, the memories of that cool water
The roar of the water coming down on us
And the laughter we all shared
Happily, they are all I will ever need
