The River

I have a river that runs through my property, full of wild life that no one can see, it flows through to a tributary, where if tended to is pretty and pristine, But after years of neglect it didn't flow quite right, the five beavers becoming a dam plight, it left me feeling breathless at the beaver sight, making me feel like I was going to die, So while I was laid up someone came around, helped me get the dams out while I didn't make a sound, helping my river of life once again to flow incessantly, after having survived my quadruple bypass surgery. 11-18-16

Aw, Cheryl. You made me feel so guilty laughing such on this funny and sad poem. I'm miffed that more people on this site don't read your fine poetry. I love the light hearted humor, it puts a smile on my face every time I stop by and read your poems. Anywho ... just wanted you to know how I feel about your talented work. This poem was a different mix, it was bittersweet, yet really humorous. Loved it though. Much love and peace to you.
