    the river

    The River

     

    We went down to the river

    Down to the stream

    Breathing in the breath of life

    God only could bring

     

    Down by the river

    We washed away our pain

    Down by the river it's always the same

     

    So where is hope?

    It’s in the river

    Where is life?

     It’s in the stream

     Where my soul can live again

     

    So I'm going down by the river

    Down by the stream

    Where the breath life is

    So I can breathe again

     

    So IAm will be their

    He's  going down by the river today

    I 'm going give my life to his name

     

    I'm swimming fast and swimming strong

    I'm swimming in this narrow river all along

    Down by the river today.

     

     

    Down by the river

    Down by

    The stream

    Its a great poem and also a beautiful song. Life is so close to nature and to God. It has a nice rhythm , 'down by the river' the melody haunts me. You have entwined self, God and nature and that is how it is. I loved it. Thank you, hope you'll read my poem "Oh! every breath of fresh air " welcome your comments.

    A part from a few grammatical errors this was a very heart warming and inspirational poem. I am that I am. Nice. I wonder how many know who He is?

    Not many are close enough to know who he is! Thanks for the comment.!!! : )

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
