Jerry Riches "Dear River"
© Dec 1, 2003 Jerry Riches

When rivers flow, as rivers should,
from mountains to the sea.
They tell their tales of life and times 
and how things are to be.

I sit in wonder at the sound,
it carries me along,
And spins the stories of the past
in verses and in song.

Do you hear the singing now?
Listen, it will come.
It will take you far from here,
away from hearth and home.

The universe, all life you’ll see,
hear Jupiter and Mars..
You’ll find your place among them, hung
Up there above the stars.

All troubles cease, all cares dissolve
and quiet fills your soul
And water cleanses you again
and makes your spirit whole.

Dear river, talk to me again,
and sing your tranquil song..
I’ll listen, and I’ll heed you well, 
you would not lead me wrong.

Remember, at the river’s side
you can be made whole.
The river has the wisdom and 
the song to soothe your soul.
