  Always A River

I made a promise that I'd never let her down
And, I held onto that when hard times were found
There were many days when a heartache could easily be heard
But, to myself and to her I gave my word...

There's just too much to lose if we drift away
Because that river is part of our yesterday
But, like it's waters that run far into the sea
Without each other we can't be...

Always a river, like it's waves she brings good things to me
And sometimes in it's storms it's easier to see
That along with the water I sure believe in her
Sometimes I fall but there's always a river...

Always a river and always a friend
Just as the water it'll be there til the end
And I tell myself there's no other place to be
Than with her and that river both before me...

They both have the way to hold on for miles
So, where I see water there's always a smile
It never matters how high the water can rise
Cause it gives, never takes, what comes passing by...

Always a river beyond the eyes
Always her and the water along my side
Just as sure as the water I believe in her
Never goodbye, my friend, but always a river...

Dear Saun, this was a lovely write, enjoyed your flow of words as the flow of your river. Sounds like a never ending love afair with it highs and its lows.

Lovely analogy, the river.
So true.
Would that more friendships could be thus . . .

I'm glad I read this tonight, it's stunning verse, so true ...so very true.

Saunni, you sound like a wonderful gift to anyone as a friend, to leave the doors open is the only way to friendship.  Your writing is getting SO good!
