Ode To Splice Creek
© 2005 Violet Vonder Haar

I've got a place that I can go to
when trouble surrounds.
When I am there I am healed
from head to toe by its peaceful sounds.

Chorus:
Splice Creek, you give love,
Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer.
And I will always depend on you
to soothe my heart and my soul too.

In spring I’ll go down
and taste your fresh air,
the green’s power has taken over
the brown and is spreading everywhere.
In the summer I will swim
in your clear waters,
and be one with the new life
and I’ll become Mother Nature’s daughter.

Chorus

And in the fall you’re getting ready
for winter’s big surprise.
You’re making homes
for all of your creatures to hide.
Then winter comes over your waters
and hides all life,
and though I miss your running water’s beauty,
I know in the spring
you’ll come Back to me, Back to me, Back to me.

Chorus
