River of Love
by Richard Maxfield
7-27-99


Love, like a river flows
we can not always pick, the path it goes 
some times turbulent, quick in pace
with rocks and obstacles, all over the place
we can not see, around the next bend
who is an enemy, or who is a friend  
the water can be muddy, not sure how deep
what things to let go, and what to keep
fight the current,  is sure to be ruff
go with the flow, is not as tuff
it can be polluted, by what is thrown in 
by unkind actions, or despicable sin
rains will come, the waters swell
carve out new paths, heaven or hell 
it can be consumed, by deserts dry sand 
or flow to the sea, with a helping hand
the river can be stopped, a dam in the way 
open the gates, with love and play
at times crystal clear, with peaceful flow
giving life, where ever it goes
the banks, green with life
peace and harmony, without strife
as water gives life, to all that grows
love gives life, where it goes
