Song of River's Daughter

The roaring Falls once wooed me Niagra's River flow Flowing swiftly across the Street Of our home of long ago Crystaline pure water We heard her voice so sweet Was that the River's daughter? Who's voice could near compete? Music; living waters flow Cherished home of long ago Her song wooed baby's heart to sleep And in her memories sweetly keep

Your poem has brought sweet memories of our first visit to Niagra. The music of the gurgling and roaring waters is like a sweet lullaby ! Beautiful poem BJ. I am sorry I can't read many of the poems as I am too busy these days !

That is so wonderful to know that this poem has brought you sweet memories Valsa, I would truly love to go back and see it again. Boy, I can relate to busy, no worries Valsa, me too, sometimes I just wish to go on a vacation, life just doesn't stop with its demands these days. I am glad I'm not alone in this, I feel so guilty when I cannot be on here, replylate, not see all the sweet poems, and guilty when I am not busy with everything else needed attended to when I am on here. Hugs to you my friend <3

Legros, fabulous to see you! This is a remarkably dear, touching poem! Amazed how you spoke of the river/falls as a music- friend. It’s true, too, but with a new way of relating…beautifull felt, seen, composed. Inspired perception! Xosally9

Beautiful BJ. I love the beautiful, sweet sound of water. The babbling of a brook, sound of a water fall, rain on my roof. Nicely done. God Bless, JB
