Once more we went into town,
There we saw Our River,
But Our River was a lake
Covering the fields around it,
Swamping the Bandstand.
The swans and geese were swimming,
Swimming all over,
All over the fields,
Some around the swings and slides.
But it was a glorious sunny morning
And the view of Our River was superb,
The images mirrored all over
Bringing joy to our world
As we looked at its beauty.
Knowing that it would change,
Change in time
And we would walk together once more,
Walk together by the side,
By the side of Our River,
Our River leading us,
Leading us to Eternity.

Another beautiful scene. It took me there. Well done
Thank you DAvid, most kind.

A fine write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
Optimism in full gear and even with water all about swans are seen. Also in ancient Egypt the anual river flooding was a time of festival and new life. In this way I see it as a metaphor for regeneration and new growth. Very nice Andy
Thank you soren, yes new growth will abound in life.

Floods verses sunshine, as long as everyone is safe, you get to see the bigger version today, I have been reading about all the floods and how the local councillors are doing nothing to help the problem... That seems to be a yearly occurrence now. 🌹
Thank you Teddy,. Yes the floods are more common now and those who could do anything about it are not doing anything.

It’s so good to have something this beautiful to come back to. We have hills and streams a nearby drive away that we visit periodically. Thanks for this pleasurable poem.
So true arqios, thank you for your kind words.

Most welcome Andy, have a good day! 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻
There is nothing like sunlight on water. The destruction that a flood can bring can also gift us incredible beauty. Enjoy it while you have it Andy. Have a great Wednesday.
So true Cassie, that sunlight on water id wonderful.
