The River of Life
Sometimes life is like a river
It flows on and on in one direction
We are sailing in this river
May we be good sailors .
~
In calm water ; we enjoy , we laze , we swim
in its glorious water.
~
Sometimes we meet the storms of life .
Waves of adversities .
We are drowning !
~
Then we clutch on to God .
He is our hope ; when all hopes fail.
~
At times we cling to wistful hopes
We hope we can turn back time .
And relive moments of estacy
moments of love , moment of truths .
~
Sometimes life is a song .
We sing its melody ...
~
in tune with our hope .
~
In tune with our ambitions .
~
In tune with the world.
~
But sometimes it is otherwise !
~
Friends , if you are sorrowful ,
I hope God will take away your pain .
In its stead , reap the grain.
Of earthly joy.
~
Sooner or later , we all will sail in a different river .
THE RIVER OF ETERNITY .
Heaven's door is wide open .
~
If we remember to pray to Him that made us .
While sailing in our river of life .
~
If we remember to keep His commandments
While sailing in our river of life .
~
If we remember to love all the living creatures He makeh
While sailing in our river of life .
~
Or love
~
All the people who have fresh and blood .
Not a drop of blood is to be wasted.
~
Every drop precious ! While sailing in our river of life .
~
Then we'll see His welcome smile .
When that day comes !
