The River…………….

A different path had I taken

This wonderful sunny day

I came down gushing

From the hills and dales

Among scented flowers

And shy willows asleep

Cascading with the waterfalls

Flowing wild and free.

Men and women drank of me

Quenching their thirst to a fill

My river waters are never empty

Overflowing with joy aplenty.

Lovers paddled their feet

At my edges lost in themselves

Happy sailing were the Canoers too

There was laughter and sweet songs

All about me.

My path was cool and clear 

When I reached the heart

Of my Mother, the Sea.
