Dauntless River
A river which glitters like a silver snake
Looked upon from this astonishing height
As it carves a chasm through the mountain stone
After centuries of persistent fight
Watching as the river forges on,
How can a person who has stood in awe
Think his life beset by harsh adversity
Believing to be crushed by one last straw
As he watches the waters tumble and flow
He might learn that to reach a long life goal
He needs only to hold one course through life
And that it helps to have a dauntless soul
