Lake Lanier

Someone turned these fields into

A thriving heaving lake.

Was this for recreation

Or for population's sake?

Miles and miles of shoreline

Stretching from Gwinnett through Hall,

And all the way to Habersham

Where mountain waters fall

To creeks and streams to form the waterways

To fill your basins deep,

While pine trees keep good company

To willows as they weep.

Gateway to the Chattahoochee,

Formed by Buford's dam.

Power from your mighty waters

Surging through the lines.

Strength of Shamu's mighty jaws,

Yet gentle as a lamb,

Sitting quiet and sedate,

Nestled in the pines.
