River Life A river is a living thing that sings to clear blue skies, while deep within its eddies White Bass, Gar and Blue Gill lie. One great miracle's the Salmon, who upstream bravely flies. As strong rapids churn white waters, this spawning fish leaps high, to strive to do its mating and in three days surely dies. 11/15/16
