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.

Victoria this is wonderful my sister in Christ. Read the rest of my poems I treasure your comments. It is for you that I write and if you don't read them It sadden's me. If you have the time your comment's mean the world to me. when I say it is you that I write for I mean the public but your special because you have Jesus so it is really you. God bless you my dear you and your loved one's Michael Torres
