Rivers

Rivers, life-giving sources of water and nourishment

Flowing through the land, from mountain to sea

Their waters rushing and tumbling, their banks teeming with life

Their beauty and majesty a sight to behold, and to be

Rivers are a source of transportation and commerce

A way to connect people and places, near and far

Their currents and tides a force to be reckoned with

Their beauty and majesty a source of wonder and awe

But rivers are also a place of recreation and relaxation

A chance to escape the noise and chaos of the world

Their calm and serene waters a balm to the soul

Their beauty and majesty a source of inspiration, to extol

So let us be inspired by the rivers, and their grandeur

And find the courage to explore and discover

For within their borders, we can find inner peace and balance

And create a brighter future, with no pallor.
