The River of Life
In the river of life
Driftwood we are
Polished by experience
Honed by wisdom
Scarred and formed by reality
Dressed with the fabric of destiny
Education to others who watch and listen
In awe and amusement our lives glisten
On this side struggle and grief
On the other green pastures
Decisions decisions decisions
Aaaaaah! A decision at last
Temporary though; we do not believe
In the next flood we will have to leave
Come to rest on another bend
With the hope that this is the end
Over decades the grains of wisdom show
With life's experience we glow
Decisions, decisions, decisions again
We know that this is not the last
Decisions will come one day again
With the experience of the past
