This is Cedar Point
(The world's great amusement park!)
(No kidding, it really is - voted so every year!)
It's on the shores of Lake Erie
and has been there since 1870
and has been there since 1870
And in many ways, it's where my story begins
It's where I went when I first left home
To work with 3,500 other college students
while living in dorms on the peninsula
It's where I learned my real home will always be there, comfort zones can be too restricting and that sometimes you need to take chances
It's where I met my husband,
also a college student working at the park
also a college student working at the park
It's where our story began
And this week, like every year,
since I left in 1988 to marry that boy,
we went back to chapter one
To remember who we once were
Only now our children are with us
Shane - Chapter 8
and
and
Jacob - Chapter 9
We tell stories, point out landmarks,
meet up with long-time friends
still lucky enough to work at the park,
year-round as directors, managers, v.p's.
meet up with long-time friends
still lucky enough to work at the park,
year-round as directors, managers, v.p's.
We envy their jobs - where every day is spent in amusement and long for the good old days
Before the less than romantic chapters were written
Before the less than romantic chapters were written
And someday, when the kids are off on their own, taking their own chances,
and writing their own stories,
and writing their own stories,
we plan to buy a little cottage
on the lake
and live another chapter
on the lake
and live another chapter
Until then, we keep "writing"
and I remind myself,
you can go "home" again!
and I remind myself,
you can go "home" again!
