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
