The River

As lazy days turn to night

wasted days steal your life

oddly it seems,we just can't see

the bountiful harvest

that waits for thee

 

We stumble and bumble

as weeks turn to years staring so blindly

as smiles turn to tears

tending the gardens intentions have made

while riding along in life's parade

 

The time passes faster

the older you grow

while perspective runs deeper

as experience's flow

the river of life

is long and winding

with rapids and backwaters

so keep your sight keen
