I reach the middle of the bridge and look down,

There flowing beneath me is My River.

Such a long time since I have walked

Along its beautiful side.

My life has changed,

Free time is sparse,

The love of my life is struggling,

I have to be with her and always will be,

The vow in sickness and in health was sworn

And is so meaningful,

Even more so now.

 

As I look at My River I remember,

Remember those times

When I was with it every morning.

Those beautiful times,

When nature spoke to me

And My Spirit joined me.

We walked together in awe,

In awe of the life that I had.

The glory of art,

The beauty of words,

The wonder of music,

They are all about me

As nature comforts me

Even in my troubled times.

 

I will return to My River

And will walk by it once more,

Walk once more with My Spirit,

As eternity beckons me

Towards my Eternal Life.
