Boating On the River

Boating on the river,
Is what we all do
In our passage of life.

It is the top of the river;
Water flows fast.
Fight against the current
To keep the boat going.

Down the river,
Water slows down.

Leave the boat

On the slow calm river
And watch how far you have traveled.

By the time the boat  
Reaches the rushing delta
Where it meets with the ocean,
Get ready to enter
A whole new world
You have never seen before.
