Life

Life has been likened to many things. There is one song that likens it to "A mountain railway with an ENGINEER that's bold..." For my take on life, I likened it to a river, as you can see from the poem below.

River of Life

The river of life keeps

 Flowing along,

Through good times, bad times,

 Through right and wrong.

 

I don’t understand all of

 Life’s ups and downs,

I just keep plodding on,

 In hopes of a crown.

 

I’ve shed some tears,

 Endured some pain,

Had time in the sunshine

 And time in the rain.

 

I smile when I can and

 Cry when I must,

But in the GOD of Heaven,

 I put all of my trust.

 

So when my earthly sojourn

 Comes to an end,

And the river of life flows

 Around that final bend;

I pray sweet guidance to

 My eternal home above,

Where I can rest from my labor

 In peace, joy, and love. ©

In my mind, a river is much like life, ever moving on. Sometimes it is turbulent; at other times, it is tranquil, but even when it looks like it is still, it is steadily moving toward its end.

Just a quiet reflection this morning... Be safe.
