Our River.

Goldfinch60



And it rained!

It rained and rained.

When it stopped

We went for a walk,

A walk by My River.

The water was so high,

Over the path on one side,

But we could walk.

The water was running so fast,

The normal clear green

A muddy brown colour.

And as we walked

We saw the birds,

The swans and geese

Huddled on the grass,

The river too fast for them,

For them to swim.

But we walked,

Walked along the wonder,

The wonder of My River

Along which I had walked,

Walked so many times.

So many memories were there,

As I remembered,

Remembered so many wonders

That My River brought to me

Over so many years.

And here I was now

Walking by My River

With the wonder in my life,

The wonder that surprised us both,

When this love we have,

Have for each other

Became so strong and so wonderful.

So there we are now

The two of us,

Walking along Our River.

          GF,

          you paint a picture with delicate brush strokes slowly adding more colour, depth and vibrancy.

          Well crafted.
