Riverboat

Riverboat so gently go
Way down the lovely Ohio
Into the Mississippi stream
And float me down a childhhod dream

Let currents take me where they may
To places of another day
Just keep on drifting one more mile
And let me sit and dream a while

I think I’ll find a rainbow’s end
Around another river’s bend
Please take me there and let me look
For a boy I once knew in a book

So smoothly does the riverboat
Down the Mississippi float
And lets me sail away among
Dreams I knew when I was young

It was just a story I once read
But it was real inside my head
And as for Huckleberry Finn
Am I allowed to dream like him?

loved this nostalgic look at the great Mississippi of Mark Twain...

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

This is an enchanting piece! I can almost close my eyes and imagine myself there. I really enjoyed this.........beth

You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore
