I reach the middle of the bridge and look down,
There flowing beneath me is My River.
Such a long time since I have walked
Along its beautiful side.
My life has changed,
Free time is sparse,
The love of my life is struggling,
I have to be with her and always will be,
The vow in sickness and in health was sworn
And is so meaningful,
Even more so now.
As I look at My River I remember,
Remember those times
When I was with it every morning.
Those beautiful times,
When nature spoke to me
And My Spirit joined me.
We walked together in awe,
In awe of the life that I had.
The glory of art,
The beauty of words,
The wonder of music,
They are all about me
As nature comforts me
Even in my troubled times.
I will return to My River
And will walk by it once more,
Walk once more with My Spirit,
As eternity beckons me
Towards my Eternal Life.
