Spring/Birth Flowing from the earth Unspoilt by the worlds refuse Thus it begins new Sping/Childhood Dancing across fields Sparkleing in the mid day sun Free from all lifes cares River/Adulthood Broad and powerfull Carrying boats on It's strong back Living life fully Delta/Old age The river fans out It is weary from travel It rests in the sea paladin |

Hi Robert, I have missed your wisdom and it's nice to have you back with us. I love this piece. Your words always touch my soul and make me stop and think. And for that, I thank you. Hugs, Marti “Prayer makes the heart large enough until it can contain God’s gift of Himself.” |
