A poem to honor Olympia SnowWoman
Olympia SnowWoman, by Kaye Lawler, Mexico, Maine
Not only in the village
Can Olympia be seen
But those who stand in awe of her
Cannot believe the scene
The majesty of her greatness
Outlined against the skies
The Magic of her presence
Can be seen before our eyes
A pendant made of mica
That she does wear with pride
A gem and precious treasure
For our own Olympia
She stands for strength and beauty
And both are rare, indeed
Angus left his heart to her
To beat in harmony
A hush hangs o’er the valley
For in her heart she knows
She’ll leave her heart behind her
Beneath the melting snow
The sun will shine upon her
And she will disappear
Nothing ever lasts forever
But her heart will stay right here.

Greetings to all the residents of Bethel, Maine…
You should be proud of your accomplishment and Kaye, your poem couldn’t have been more appropriate.
Someday I would love to visit your beautiful state but for now I’ll just watch the webcam and be thankful I live in the ‘other’ Washington out here where Davey Crockett still can be found.
Have an enjoyable Spring and thank you for bringing a little sunshine into our lives.
Sincerely…
David Wayson
