Rivers

Rivers of life--that's what they are, They cross our land from near and far, Helping boats with food go up and down, Bringing commerce and products to all the land. Rivers flow-some slow, some fast- They have brought many inventions from our past, Fulton's steamboat, the first to be seen-- Started on a river flowing out to the sea. Now, nuclear energy drives the great ships, Out on the seas-everyone thinks this is so hip! But boaters and fishermen still need the rivers, So as we can see, rivers are still great givers. Rivers of life-that's what they are- Carrying trout, bass and other fish near and far, I love to watch those currents so strong, Sweeping its loads all night long.
