Like the waters of a river
With it's crystal surface
Rarely showing any
Of it's hidden depths below
As it tumbles over rocks
That try to challenge it
In it's never ceasing flow
Ever rippling and reflecting
All that it passes by
In it's journey to the sea
And have you ever thought
That it's sort of like
You and me...
As we flow through life
Always twisting and turning
And on occasion, even stumbling
And that the brave face
We show the world
Is rarely what we really are
Deep inside...
And of the challenges we face
As we journey through life
In our quest for enlightenment
So maybe you and I...
Should be more like the river
And face all that comes our way
With heads held high
And the sure knowledge
That come what may
And tries to block our way
We will survive and prevail
And not just turn and run away
So come, take my hand
And join me as we plunge
Into the rivers of life...
In new found wonderment
Always questing and learning
All that comes our way
And let us flow like the water
As we journey through,
Our ever changing life
