Like a Flowing River

Like a flowing river my spirit flows to where it goes, out where the vast sea of life is, fresh as a cold morning dew. Seeking to fill this wide world with all the love that I have, tireless as a swift-flowing river, endless as the blue, blue sky. To love is what I am here for to care for my fellowman; the road is rough and thorny yet my love lives endlessly like a flowing river. I may just be a little leaf floating on the restless water but I'll go anywhere it takes me till I find you out in the sea.

Kind Sir, This one is truly beautiful- a work of art! Tell me more about the Phlippines. Some of my fondest memories come from my time there. I have a short narrative called The Helicopter Flight I will post. I also have a short story too long to post called A Congressman, A Gunrunner, and a Cup of Tea you might enjoy. Once again, I am moved by the beauty of your poem. J. B. Rudd
