River of Life

Manassian Quintain As we stroll through the river of life As it meanders on it's way Crossing the pebble stones of strife Watching the flow and ebb each day Life like a knife cutting the rotten parts away Life like the river it sometimes runs slow Twisting and turning at every chance Obstacles try to halt its flow. Stormy winds can lead a merry dance when tempers flow, it is all by chance The water, so calm on a summers day Like the millpond of a perfect life A tiny whisper of wind , kicking up spray Like careless words, that causes strife Let this happy day control the strife in your life Penned 26 January 2015
