Crashing over jagged rocks
Others gently floating docks
Smallest streams of babbling brook
Raging rivers, power mistook
The downward path is always found
Gravity pulls underground
Giving life and sustenance
From the river’s flowing dance
Some as wide as eye can see
Flowing broad and deep and free
Where they start at mountain top
To the ocean where they stop
The river flows with liquid grace
Seeking out its rightful place
Some refresh in carefree play
While others with their life will pay
This river plays no favorite game
In taking life or laying blame
The very one that life will give
Can take the life that you will live
