MY JOYFUL WILD RIVER

THE RIVER OF LIFE

The River of Life
begins
when we are born   

It streams
across Life
to take us
through it all

It has
its ebbs and tides
rises
with the storms

It flows to take us
to each
day's dawn

The course You set
will only
change with choice

The River takes us
to many
different points

How you affect
The River
will ripple
through it all

It is not
always smooth
nor does
it have
to be storming

The River
is the beginning
that flows
from the womb

It takes us
to eternity
to set
the course
we choose..

A THOUGHT!

There is
no end
when
The River
flows to God

There
is only
start
where
will I begin?

There
is one choice
where will it be?

Dedicated To Belinda

A Poeatreeman

One starts
when One
is on The River

One chance
to stop
from falling
to the falls

One's birth
will bring
me to it all

One's end
is only
just beginning

Eternity
is just ahead
no time to lose

Time
is not running
nor are you

You're faced
with what
you chose to do

No time
to think
of where I will go

I knew
before
I ended my journey.
