By The Lake Poem by Tumisang Ramarea

How beautiful would it be
To have a home in a place
Where I can experience such
Serene mornings by the lake

The birds are singing, the
Waves on the lake are calm,
And the sun - as early as it is-
Is nice and is warm

Of course this is an illusion
I have been here in the winter
And I know how things change
How sweet can turn to bitter

The birds go silent, the trees
Get covered in snow, the lake
Freezes, and warmth can only
Be wished for. So bye the Lake!
