| Moon Over Glen Lake by Sue Woodward |

This year we had the Fred Boal family from Scotland and Ireland over to Glen Lake Cottages for two weeks. Fred and his family have vacationed up here years ago, and came back for a family vacation. His daughter Kathy wrote this poem about Glen Lake several years back and gave us a copy upon leaving. What a gracious family and thank you for the beautiful plant. We enjoyed having you all here and thank you for being such wonderful renters! We can hardly wait to visit you in Scotland and Ireland! And, those kids were great boat drivers!
A Glen Lake Moon by Kathy Boal Apsley 1980
The moon she sits Avobe Alligator Hill Resting peacefully there Until dawn will show her face
The lake so calm and still Reflects the path Of moonlight, shimmering From one shore to the other
And cozy little cottages Just like our pink one With its comforting light Are dotted all around the shore
I wonder where The swans are now That dusk has quickly fallen And the night air has cooled
The big white rowing boat Tugs gently at her anchor As if to be quite sure That darkness won't sweep her away
The soft eveing breeze Comes in a whisper From Lake Michigan Soaring silently like a bird
Sleeping Bear She watches over us Barren, covered with endless foot prints Finally able to rest her weary head And join the moon in sleep
