The River Of Life

May the sunshine of yesterday

Warm your back side today.

May the breezes that cooled you,

Return without delay.

 

May you always be happy;

Let nothing to you cause dismay.

For life is so fleeting, gone.

And you have nothing  to say.

 

Be you wise man or fool,

There is an end to both.

The paddling upstream

Keeps you from rocking the boat.

 

Lay into your oar

Or you will fall behind.

Swepth by the currents

 In any river of life, you'll find.

Best advice I've read in a long time about living life for that is what we have: this life, "so lay into your oar" should get me going when I think I need to quit caring so deeply about so much! thank you,George!

It's the river of no return
and we are the travelers, swept on forever...
to be lost in a stormy sea.
Well done, George.
