A River's Course

To those for whom the love of life has run a river’s course And carried far away, the joy I say, you have a choice To live your life in gratitude for having lived at all So wondrous in its lovely gift however big or small Remember as you seem to see or feel it slip away That river’s run back to the sea to live again one day

Mike, very few poets can annotate the meaning of life or get close to it the way you do. You are a philosophic giant! Smiling after reading.

You're right Mike, we should be grateful for our lives and we should try and live it to the full. We'll encounter storms along the way but we'll always find a safe harbour. Tom

Amen! Amen! Those who realize such find wisdom. Our faith keeps us from a pitiful pitfall, only to be tested with great grief. Blessings, dear saint of the Lord!
