Life Renewed

The river, the giver 
      of life
The river, the giver 
      of time as we know it 
Volumes of history 
   on my shelves
Offer dark pictures 
    One sees shadows 
when one delves 
    into the records of the past
So I'll watch the river, the giver 
    as it brings renewed life 
The river, the giver 
    bringing home peace 
The river, the giver 
     watch as it flows past our homes 
the river, the giver 
     make it your own!

Life, like a river, is continuously flowing and wherever it ends up is more important than where it began... I enjoyed this beautiful poem, Matthew. Very well written!
