In Clayton there was Silver Lake
restricted for lake residents to partake.
But there I did secretly escape
to fish, swim, stump jump
and camp for God’s sake!
Once I even crashed
through the ice
in the back portion
of that lake
and a future
high school lineman
did abandon me
frightened for his own sake.
But somehow
I managed to break the ice
crawl my way out
and did escape.
Cold and trembling,
I wandered back to safety
was carried home
escaped Another Fate!
The frightened boy
who abandoned me
in the ice?
Well!
He eventually was elected
first team linemen
for the whole damn state!

What a douche. I assume you aren’t friends anymore?
No! He didn’t even tell anyone what had happened. But my father did chew out his father for my sake!
A harrowing story. Why he did not tell anybody that you fell through the ice! Beat’s me!

Dad this is such a sad story that your friend abandoned you when you fell through the ice but Thank God the Lord saved you and he had a plan for you. Thank you for sharing your heart and your story and your beautiful Silver Lake picture too. I am sad you had to go through that.
