River By Janel Raab

Life is like a river, always changing never stopping
It has bends and dams to flow through
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow
It is always different as the water flows
Never knowing where or when it will end
Sometimes rough, sometimes smooth
It can stay on a marked path or create a new
Maybe joining up with others or maybe running alone
Sometimes muddy, sometimes clear
Could help create life, or could destroy it one sweep
Towards the end all rivers will meet
At the same place, though at different times
Sometimes cold, sometimes warm
And eventually all will be swallowed up by the ocean
