At the river...

poem by: Godfrey Georges
Written on Nov 29, 2016

We stand at the bank of the river
As It roars to the ALMIGHTY,
A deafening sound; we quiver 
And our bodies stiffened so tightly.
It flows in an eastward direction
to an outlet in the Atlantic,
We see it in a distance and upon reflection
Its purpose, its mission; impact 

We think of our lives as one is small
In a world as one so many,
but we as one has significance so tall
even his angels has to bow in envy.
For as one we are lovingly made in His image
To live in this human experience
As one Each of us in this worldly village
Has purpose, no mistakes; Fastidious

So now we stand at the river's bank
refreshed from our worry's and fears,
Our bodies relaxed, this moment we thank
 our smiles foregrounds our tears.
Full of vigor and purpose, we walk away
with the river's lesson of honor,
That despite life's risks, twists, and delay
We will roar, we will deafen;  Conquer.
