Toledo Bend

Toledo Bend is a lake that covers the horizon like a blanket of excitement

Sitting on a dock staring at the color-changing sunset wishing you could fly up and touch it

Tubing with a speedboat going 70 mph while seagulls fly above your head like they want to join in

Staying up late so you can have a BBQ with strangers, but somehow they feel like family

Wishing, hoping, and dreaming that you could stay here forever to enjoy the BBQs, tubing, sunsets, and the lake

But you know that you have to go and come again next Summer

I still feel that Toledo Bend is my home, it’s the place where I belong
