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.

Live your life as you choose. Your river will return to you one day, but the moments of life are fleeting. Enjoy them to the fullest. - Phil A.
