Down By The River

I watch you down by the river,
Relaxed and amazed at the water,
Fascinated as it trickles past,
Feeling the mist of it’s shower.

A peaceful place for a memory,
The beauty and the comfort found,
Taking you away in the whisper,
As you stoop low to the ground.

A beautiful day, a brushing breeze,
All in a world of your own,
Pictures to capture the loveliness,
To share with loved ones at home.

A tough looking biker in leathers,
Unshaven you sit on your throne,
Still the beauty of the world amazes you,
Must be shared, not kept for you alone.

Toughness don’t destroy the heart,
Just adds to the type you’ve become,
More caring, more loving, excepting,
Of others rights not their wrongs.

I watched you down by the river,
That look I have seen it before,
You’ll have fond memories to share with us,
I can tell as you come through the door.
