Life's like a river with a start and an end
with sinuous curves that cut at each bend.
Twisting and flowing it floods and it swells
and in every such journey is dry for a spell.
Life's like a river in its constant of change
though we may dam it, drain it, deprive it of rain.
Yet the river flows on through sand and through clay
change stops for no man, no woman, no day.
till the river moves slowly to its grand finale
the culmination of a great journey surrounding;
the rocks and gravel, the drifting debris
are but parts of this journey - they're you and they're me.
but love does not travel this river like us,
it goes much past our journey transcending the fuss.
Love is the sea that each river meets
and the bonds that we've built it eternally greets.
Though it waves never ending it's always been there
connecting our lives through this love that it shares.
Today we see change for both of these two
but the love that they hold will always be true.
Though we live our lives in the river's domain
the love that we find shall forever remain.
Both the waves and curves hold the constant of change
but the ocean is constant in the love it retains.
