The Rolling River

The Rolling River
Dr. James E. Martin
©March, 2014

The river rolls on, with deafening sounds,
with each roaring move the noise abounds.
The children watch with fears of their own
With deafening sounds, the river rolls on.

Fishermen stay late with determination new
as  the mist on  their foreheads gently spew.
They seem to not care that it is getting late
With determination new fishermen stay late.

Back at the house a partner does wait, 
aware that it is now getting late.
Now not such a cheery spouse,
A partner does wait back at the house.

It’s been a long day, filled with fun,
enjoying the river in the summer sun.
Longing to there forever stay,
Filled with fun, it’s been a long day.
