I saw the river ~ inviting
The river saw me ~ anticipating
A rock of ages ~ my savior
My last breath I ~ surrender
For a life that has been long ~ gone
The river of life and i are now ~ one
For my cousin Delbert 35 ~ mental illness sufferer
79 year old Mom did know he left the house ~ river is behind
Boys fishing for Tilapias over the bridge saw him going ~ out to sea
His body was never found by Rescue Squad ~ family waited one week
after RS call ending search of his body notifying family ~ Aloha Del Boy.

I need he who made the flowers
And then he gave them stalks, that rest upon the branches
Need he who make the fruits
And then he gave the seeds, so they can be replanted
And they regrow, God you know
Just like rivers to Tilapias
Just like sugar to Malaysians
Lord that’s how much I need you, I promise I’ll always please you
Need your strength, wisdom and guidance
