Each day I walk by My River,
Each day I try to walk faster,
Doing my exercising
In this locked down world.
But this day I slowed
As thoughts came to my mind.
My River had reached out to me
And said “Why are you ignoring me?”
So My River and I became one again.
Its beauty shone for me.
The smooth, clear green water
Giving me the clarity of thought.
Each breath I took cleansed my heart,
Cleansed my heart and mind.
In came the good thoughts,
Out went the bad.
The freedom from sorrow was with me
As my lover joined me
And we walked together in love,
As we had for so many years,
For so many years during her lifetime,
But she was always with me,
And in walking slowly by My River
She was with me once more.
We came to My Rivers end
And she walked on into her Spiritual World,
I walked back but I knew,
I knew that one day as we both came
To My Rivers end we would walk on together,
Walk in Our Spirits in eternal life forever
With our so strong love
Increasing with every step.

Yes, we may hurry on, and not 'see' the River. I'm not walking every day now. It's not 'walking season' really now.
You will surely walk together for eternity along the River of Life. 🙂
Thank you Orchi, I am sure we will walk together .

ANGELA HERE - Good Sunday Uncle Andy - Thanks for an uplifting Video (love the clarinet) & Country Ode - It complemented the one we have just read from Uncle Steve. Intersted to note that Joyce was a clarinettist ! Loved the Poem !
It is mild Autumnal Day in Essex today so Brian & I will go a (slow) riverside walk to the Lake before Dinner - Brians home made Lamb Lassagne Pleased you feel Joyces presence with You on your walks. Memories are made of this ~ AMEN. We take SMOKEY with us on a long flexible lead - He likes to explore ! Walking a CAT is very different from walking a DOG !
Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love Angela Brian & Smokey ! ! !
Thank you Angela, Joyce is always with me.

That was a really beautiful write, Andy!
Thank you Christina, much appreciated.
The current is steady but the flow is deep, strong and perpetual. A motion which will not cease until journeys end and ..... just as with a rainbows end.... treasure awaits.
Never allow the temptation which would taint the treasure with impatient haste.
So very true d a, that treasure will be forever with me and remain untainted.

''Beauty is truth: truth beauty'' wrote Keats and your honest works are testament to the veracity of his words,
in the beauty of Joyce you so effortlessly imbue within each syllable of devoted dedication, you unveil the truth that burns immortal your cherished love,
a truly moving write Andy
Thank you so much for you very kind words LB. Joyce is always with me.
Andy
