The River of my Thoughts

My mind is like a river, And constantly it flows. Something's always floating by, Whether or not I want to know. There is garbage and pollution, Tossed in by what others say. If I don't dodge them by refocus, They can affect my day. Accusations and false statements, Just floating garbage in the stream. Tossed in there by others words, The ones that want to be mean. O' boy here comes condemnation, They are the big floating logs. They always come, grouped more than one, My thinking they want to clog. And of course there's floating plastic, Made of material like it's source! I step aside so it can pass, Because it comes with such force. Lord, help me focus on You alone, And not the garbage of man. Help me to keep my river clean, By focusing on your plan. One day I'll gather at your river, At the end of my life. Where there's love, peace and unity, And there will be no more strife.
