Life

LIFE LIFE Life is a river that wanders through my mind The route is ever changing, the plot unfolds through time Twists and turns and boulders, hidden threats below Rapids ever churning, moving swiftly to and fro Sometimes the water’s quiet and hardly moves at all Other times it’s threatening, then there comes the fall The waters then cascading, the drop so quick and long Sometimes we fight the current; other times we ride along Trusting without knowing That rivers keep on flowing-- Onward to the sea.

Hi, Jackie-- I am working with an instructor at Cerritos College who would like to include this poem in the course pack for her students. Where can I send a formal request? -Brittany Wimmer, Premium Source Publishing

HI Brittany, My apologies for not replying to your request. I am new at this and rarely have time to come on. I am honored that you would like to use the poem. The time is probably past but my email is sitsamoa@samoa.ws. It would be great if the poem would be useful to students. Hope to hear from you. Have nice Sunday.
