Life Is Like a River.

Life is like a River,
It sometimes makes you shiver.
Life keeps its steady pace,
Even through the trials we face.
 
Life can make you smile,
When you don’t know what to do.
It gives you a chance to rest awhile,
And allows you to be you.

Life can make you happy,
Life can make you sad,
Life can make you cranky,
Yes, life can make you mad. 

But we must remember,
That where and whenever,
We have the choice to make, 
Our own lives a keepsake.

We must keep in mind,
The great examples from behind
And work hard at living true,
As Jesus Christ would have us do.
