Across the River

Across the River Lightening flashed and thunder roared And across flowing river had to ford; River incessantly did run so fast; Would it make their moment the very last? Rain came down and continued to fall; Saddled my horse who was in his stall; Rode to river to se who may be there; What had happened was hard to bare. Wife and husband were washed downstream; Both are in heaven now it does seem; Were great people who I'll never forget; See shadow of their ghosts when sun does set. jthorn5656@atmc.net
