When the River Flowed

© 2011 (Jim Sularz) (Dedicated to my Brother-in-Law: William L. Browne III (1959-2011) who drowned in the Colorado River when visting family and friends on a fishing trip. Bill was found 4 months later.) Let it be known, in memoriam, that he is loved. And any earthly bonds that shaped his soul, is now a wide river flowing, to a distant Heaven bestowed. He could have walked a much longer path, and would have paused again, with a hearty laugh. But, when the river flowed, when the river flowed, – it marked this hour, for him to go. Don’t cry for him, with welling tears upset, but celebrate his fulfilled years, instead. When the river flowed, when the river flowed, - it moved his gift of life ahead. For loving sons, family, friends and beloved wife, he leaves cherished memories, a faithful man’s insight. And when the river flowed, when the river flowed, - it moved him gently, to Everlasting Life!
