BY THE RIVER

By the river
I sat and saw
The beauty of nature
The nature of friendship

By the river
I sat and heard
The best of music
The worst of sounds

By the river
I sat and reasoned
With great spirits
For long minutes

By the river
I sat and thought
Of the good times in life
Of the bad times too

By the river
I sat and wept
For the poor souls who are lost
In this journey of life

By the river
I sat and knew
That connection with nature
Is a great adventure

By the river
I sat and learned
That life is mental
And your perspective is key
