The River Runs

Storms rain sprung on rocky clefts Where springtime run-off streams are filled. Where snows melts and clouds lift The start of water generous gift. Here the rivulet and creeks build. Through the foothill small brooks run On their track toward His sea. Fast their speed and faster won Faster forward the plains they hum From this slope, increase their speed. Life giving water gentle flows Meander out across the plains Forward to sea the water goes Wider and wider, the river grows. It gathers here, yet with the rains. A distance far from mountains tops A river plunges into a sea From time began it never stops, Headwaters high to ocean drops Forever will the rivers be. The scars of earth are God's plan The river runs without a reason. Therefore, it is the heart of man On the banks of might rivers stand To live and love in ever season.
