My Long Time Friend

Those who live close to a river know that it takes on its own life in relation to our lives.


 

 
I see her often – my long time friend.
I know how she looks, each and every bend.
Sometimes she is bubbly and moving with haste
at other times she’s dried up and only a waste.
 
She never speaks a single word,
at least nothing I’ve ever heard.
Her mouth is so very far away,
that I can’t hear what she has to say.
 
She seldom gets out of her comfy bed
and when she does some people are dead.
She gives no money for me to thank
even though she’s often in her bank.
 
When it comes to life she’s a giver.
She’s known as the Missouri River.
Whether she’s flowing rapid or slow
she’s a great lady – the might Mo.

The river. A life of their own. We may try to tame her, but she usually does her own bidding . . .

A great river she is and they many who have met salvation resting on her shores, well done...

Be always safe,
Karen
