Time
flows like a river
Winding
and twisting making it's way
At times
wide and gently flowing
Other
times rushing to get to the sea
When
it rains or the snow is melting
It overflows
it's banks and floods
There
are rapids of foaming rushing water
Our lives
are like those rivers
At times
we are slow and stagnant
Then
we will rush headlong into tomorrow
We have
gentle times of calmly drifting
Then
world fills our lives with
A flood
of more than we think we can handle
A river
has no idea whence it flows
Just
as we have no idea where life will lead us
Each
of us has a beauty all our won
That
we can offer those around us
For
the river nourishes nature's living things
And
our love nurtures those we care about
