The river flows with freedom and beauty unsurpassed

It paints its picture on the soul, to there forever last

It gives us all the pleasures, which a mind with peace can bring

The inner eye sweet company, our heart, the voice to sing

Rick, I can totally relate to this. I think there is nothing more peaceful than sitting watching the river go by. Well done.

Dee

Rick, this is very beautiful.  Four simple lines, could possibly become a mantra for the soul....easily recited, memorizing same could hold joy....

well done Sir!

There is something so magical about a river that you captured to a perfect peace. A keeper for sure. Hugs to you for being so kind and inspiring!  

There is a beautiful old Hymn I used to sing in church. "Come Morning" I'll walk by the river. I'll rest neath the evergreen tree. Thanks for reminding me of this.

Sincerely,
Regina
