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.
