The Rivers Edge

The River’s Edge

Strolling on a summers eve
Along a grassy meadow's stream
As my reflections from the past
Flow by me like a dream
I once was such a bitter man
Who had no hope in store
But summer seasons melted ice
Unbinding me once more
To finally dream of better days
As the roaring river lets me know
To reach a better place in life
The past must be let go
You can still find  happiness
To you this I will pledge
If you go do what I once did
And walk the river’s edge
