my life is a river

my life
is a river
that runs through time
each moment
has it's own chord, it's own chime
it come's & it goe's
my life
has it's own flow's

from north
to south
from cold
to hot
my life
has it's own spot
moment's in time
rythmn & rhyme
passion & pain
sunshine & rain

my life
is a river
a giver
of emotion
flowing to the Ocean
to my destiny
whatever
that may be

my life
is a river
that runs through time
it passes so quickly
so sublime
but it is mine
my life
to do as i choose
to win or to lose

my life
is a river
and so i go
i flow
around the next bend
i grow
until the river does end

there in the ocean
there in the motion
the emotion
of time
there in the rhyme
of eternity
there
where
my river & me
will for eternity
Be

sometimes it moves
ever so fast
like white water
the shoulda'
the coulda'
the woulda'
the past
that will forever last

and then the calm
right in the palm
of my hand
where i can stand
quietly
in the stream
where i can Be
if only in a dream

then once agiain
the rain
the pain
the flood
the mud
upon the shore
until there is no more
and then...

once again
quietly
softly
my river does flow
evermore
nevermore
to know
that far distant shore

there to the ocean
there to the sea
there to the bay
there where i see
what may
Be

each with it's motion
each with it's emotion
there
my river will lay
there
my river will play
there
my river will stay
lost
among the river's of time
there in the Ocean
sublime

and though
i know
each wave
has it's own rhytmn
that it's given'
it's own rhyme
it's own time
one wave is mine

and so i go
and so i flow
i grow
until i know...

my life is a river
that runs through time
my life is my life
my life is mine
through trouble & strife
to live
to give
to forgive
to be forgiven
my life
is for livin'

my life
is a river
only GOD knows
how
my river will flow's

my life
is a river
sometimes's a stream
my life
is but a dream
in the scheme
of things

my life
is but what
The River Bring's

My life flows -

Sometimes from streams to rivers;
sometimes from rivers to ocean.

Sometimes I am serene as a peaceful lake;
Sometimes I cause waves as big as a hurricane.

No matter where I flow into;
it will always be me and my life.-

and I love me and my life.
