And as I stroll along the rippled sands   Peace walks with me – I wait and sigh     For that beckoning voice beneath the ripple of the waves       To tell me, "Be ye still, for God is neigh." And so, yet lovely Lake, I pour forth to you   This message from my soul, no longer ache     Forever after me as I depart this life.       Remembering your calm inspiration, Crystal Lake. -- Stacy L. Daniels (Aug. 29, 1937 - )
