Alongside My River I walk,
Meandering slowly,
Looking around,
Listening to the sounds,
The sounds of nature.
The quacks of the ducks,
The absolute silence of the swans
Gliding passed on the clear green,
The clear green water.
The sound of woodpigeons
Squawking from the trees,
The occasional “teacher, teacher”
As the Great Tits call.
I look into My River
There I can see fish
Swimming gently,
Gently amongst the green leaves,
The green leaves of the plants.
The plants swaying gently,
Swaying gently in the water.
I walk with joy
Knowing that the wonder of Nature
Will always be there,
Be there to raise My Spirit
That is within me,
And will be for eternity.
