Wherever the River Flows

Wherever the river winds, I want to go
Around every bend with the force of the flow
Down every cascade just tumbling  free
Til it reaches the mouth and flows into the sea

Wherever the breezes blow I want to fly
Along with the currents of air drifting by
Lifting me higher to places unknown
Where the eagle and falcon have never yet flown

Wherever you ramble I just want to ride
To be in your company right by your side
If you float down a river or soar into space
I’ll be there beside you wherever the place

I’ll climb any mountain, I’ll swim any stream
I’ll ride any highway to follow your dream
Wherever you wander, whatever you do
For my greatest dream is just being with you

I can tell by the cadence of this one that your heart was on high. Beautifully crafted work Elizabeth.

This is a piece of great beauty, Liz!!
Such style and grace as only you possess...
The words dance like the wind and flow like that river.
Wonderful!!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

This is great...another work of art.  Everything just flows so smoothly, like water down a stream.

Liz - very sweet poem - full of longing, and promise.  Whenever I think of you, I  remember the person I met at Mike's who could inspire these sentiments in others.
