Lazy River

it's the end of Summer so the river level is down. You can walk straight across it now with little risk that you'll drown. Right now it's a lazy river meandering to the sea but come the early Spring a raging river it'll once more be. In Summer months we swim there creating memories with friends. Living our very best lives, hoping it never ends. But today as Summer wanes and Fall is on the way I'll walk across the river and enjoy this peaceful day. I am getting older so it may be the last time for me to wander across the river as it slips out to the sea. 26/08/2020

We are all getting older, Francine and that is why I don't do as much writing. This poem is similar to one I have posted. I enjoyed it.

Nice title. I love to cross a lazy river by walk. But I got rare chances. Love.

Francine, I enjoyed the poem with a lazy river walk. Reminds me of Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn. -Richard

Francine, I hope you get to "walk" across the river many more times! Just stay young at heart. Thank you for sharing this journey, my friend. I felt like I was walking with you... Hugs, Carolyn
