River of life

by Tracy D Rollings   May 17, 2007


I sat by a creek bank, just the other day
watching the water, carry a leaf away.

I thought to myself, is this the way life goes
it runs through my mind, no one knows.

You are here on earth, for just a little while
so learn to love and share a great smile.

People are many and friends are few
love and happiness, is being with you.

I thought about that leaf, as I watched it go
was it's purpose really served, I'll never know.

Then I thought about myself, holding my life steady
wondering when the river of life called, will I be ready.

Really can't answer that and I know it's true
but when I go, you know I'll leave loving you.©2007 Tracydr42
