Rowing Upstream and Downstream

     Rowing downstream is one of life’s grandest pleasures
        while upstream’s difficulty is quite hard to measure

     You’ve got to dip those oars in right tight to the boat
        and if you're ahead of the current, make sure not to gloat

Hello Gershon, If i had someone else in the boat with me, and i was rowing, the boat would go in circles. I can not row straight. We would be dizzy. en joy your day my friend. /Darlene/

Also, make sure there is no waterfall ahead. This is a cute, picturesque poem.

Rowing downstream is a pleasure while going upstream is pain as we have to row against the current. Life demands rowing downstream and upstream. When problems arise we have to hold the oar tight and row with caution. Even if we prove very successful, we shouldn't gloat over, but stay humble. Meaningful poem
