My River Friend
Nearby my friend the river flows
Today, for me, in sorrow…slows
She looks to see my empty chair
For I no longer will be there.
Tears roll down the river's face
As this was such a happy place
So many came to stay a while
Always leaving with a smile
The clearest pictures in her waters
Show reflections of my daughters
As children of their children followed
More and more of life I borrowed
Eighteen hearts which came from mine
I hope forever intertwine
For I am now the river breeze
To carry our joint memories
Peaceful in my last repose
I wonder where the river goes?
The river and her constancy
Will now remind you all of me.
