So much rain has fell,
I go down to My River,
It is so high but I can walk by it.
The water flowing so fast
and a dark brown colour.
I think back to those days
Where the green clear water
Went passed me at a sedate pace,
The swans and geese sailing,
Sailing peacefully along it.
But today as I walk by it
Its speed so fast,
It is not how I see my life.
My life has slowed
And every moment of it
Has become a time of wonder.
I no longer want speed in my life,
Every moment is special,
And I want to enjoy every one
And give them the time,
The time they deserve.
I know My River will ease
And the wonder that I enjoy will return,
And that day will bring glory,
Bring glory once more to my life.
