Many Thoughts

How do I express The many thoughts That run in my mind Like a river: The thought of happiness Each time I remember The evanescence of our life The thought of laughter Each time I remember the folly of man The thought of love Each time I remember The ones I love The thought of forgiveness Each time I remember Those that offend me The thought of guilt Each time I remember Those that I offend The thought of gratitude Each time I remember Those with benevolent hearts Should I write it on the sand Away will the wind blow it Should I write it on water No sooner will I do Than it will flow away Maybe then I write beautiful poems For the whole world to read
