~Charlie Whitmore, Class Of 2025

Resting within the old aluminum motor boat
Fishing rod in hand 
The water
Like glass 
My reflection stares back at me

Stoic pines
Line the edge of Squam Lake
Serene silence surrounds me
I feel a tug 
A surge of life 
Every pore in my body

I reel in my prize
For all my patience
The bass disturbs the perfect water
disrupt the calm
To achieve your goal
Resting within the old aluminum motor boat
Fishing rod in hand 
The water
Like glass 
My reflection stares back at me

Stoic pines
Line the edge of Squam Lake
Serene silence surrounds me
I feel a tug 
A surge of life 
Every pore in my body

I reel in my prize
For all my patience
The bass disturbs the perfect water
disrupt the calm
To achieve your goal
