Poems about Saugatuck Dunes State Park

Sun smiles in heat and cold
People visit, young and old
I’ve seen tourists high and low
Families smile in sand and snow
Leaves dance when the wind blows
People enjoy my nature shows
The birds’ chirps are toy whistles
My dunes are draped in purple thistles
Waves crash upon my shores
People love the great outdoors
Families use my trails for hiking,
Walking, skiing, exploring, and biking
The list of activities is like my shoreline
It seems to be endless, you wish you had more time
Dunegrass swishes through the air
Adults leave their worries and try not to care
Kids play games and make sandcastles
Visiting me is fun, never a hassle
You can use my trails for hiking
Walking, skiing, exploring, and biking
People visit, young and old
I’ve seen tourists high and low
Families smile in sand and snow
Leaves dance when the wind blows
People enjoy my nature shows
The birds’ chirps are toy whistles
My dunes are draped in purple thistles
Waves crash upon my shores
People love the great outdoors
Families use my trails for hiking,
Walking, skiing, exploring, and biking
The list of activities is like my shoreline
It seems to be endless, you wish you had more time
Dunegrass swishes through the air
Adults leave their worries and try not to care
Kids play games and make sandcastles
Visiting me is fun, never a hassle
You can use my trails for hiking
Walking, skiing, exploring, and biking
Breathing in fresh air and feeling the cool wind against my face
It’s something I need every once in a while
Biking until my legs are numb with pain,
Running until my lungs burn like fire,
Swimming until my hands and feet are pruney
There’s a place where I don’t have to worry about anything
I feel so relaxed I could sink into the ground
I can run, jump, smile, laugh, swim, and play
I’m a wild animal
It’s something I need every once in a while
The giant dunes of sand are covered in a blanket of moss
The water is crystal clear and reflects like a mirror
The forest is green, untouched, astonishing, and full of discovery
People spend hours with their loved ones in that wonderful place
Smiling. laughing, playing, exploring, and loving
It’s something you need every once in a while
