I cast out my line into the lake
and then I waited. . .
I watched and played with a water snake
but mostly I waited. . .

The sun beat down upon my hat
and I waited. . .
Upon an old rotted log I sat
as I waited. . .
I watched a dragonfly that was fat,
but mostly, I waited. . .

The flies buzzed, the minutes marched on
as I waited. . .
I wondered where the fish had gone
and, I waited. . .

Suddenly, it was my wish,
--hold tight, hold steady. . .
I had finally caught my fish!
--hold tight, hold steady. . .

I had finally done it,
I decided that,
I loved it,
and then, I decided that,
I'd do more of it!
