RIVERS
Stop - whenever you see a river.
Just close your eyes –
and hear its swagger,
it's swirls and its roll.
Just open up your eyes
and see its flow.
America has them – rivers.
The mighty Mississippi -
the deep Hudson –
the searching Shenandoah,
the St. Lawrence and the Rio Grande,
the Colorado and the Columbia.
Go to Pittsburgh and see the Alleghany
and the Monongahela flowing till they
become the Ohio with its coal boats.
Rivers!
And this
is just one country with all its rivers
and they are just one of the Creator's great
imaginations – rivers - Holy Water – Sacred flow.
There's more! Keep moving! Keep living.
and hear its swagger,
it's swirls and its roll.
and see its flow.
the deep Hudson –
the searching Shenandoah,
the St. Lawrence and the Rio Grande,
the Colorado and the Columbia.
and the Monongahela flowing till they
become the Ohio with its coal boats.
and they are just one of the Creator's great
imaginations – rivers - Holy Water – Sacred flow.
