Clue:
Marieta's Little Bench

A little bench sits in the woods far back and away from the rest.
It's Primitive look, matches the trail that loops through the thick dense wooded forest.
There once was a time, when two lovebirds would stop, to sit and rest their wings.
The bench would look forward to the days they would come, waiting for the company they'd bring.
But those days have passed, one lovebird has gone, she's flown with Angels to the sky.
The lovebird who's left, still comes here to rest.
On the days that he needs a smile.
While sitting on the bench, he’s placed a small package, at the base of a tree to the right
To those who will find it, please take good care, as much love has been placed inside.

There is only one bench on this particular section of trail, and it is like no other in the park. Enjoy your walk through the twists and turns, when the sounds of everyday life begin to fade and you're only left with the sound of your footsteps and birds, you know your getting close.
