Life's Rolling River

Life flows like those rolling winding untamed Rivers,
We're not the only ones sitting in it's streams who feel their coldest Shivers,
Does yours flow trickling or is it running rushing and Contentious?
Streaming smoothly calmly easing and not in any way a bit Pretentious?

The river's rocky unknown flow that's in this Earthly Life,
Is compounded mostly by the weight of our own Strife!
People and events will then add to quicken its Pace,
Until our balance just gets way out of its Place!

In changing streams of emotions our World spins and Turns,
Sentimental waves will flow through freezing us till it Burns,
Swim in the calm streams where Hope and Faith together Yearns,
Let Life's stumbling jagged rocks roll breaking off sharp edges as it Churns.

We learn to swim safely and strive to reach our predestined Shore!
Wadding through waters we've made much rougher than ever Before,
Challenges can push us off course to drown out in deep Blue Seas,
Remember, Prayers to our Lord Jesus Christ for Forgiveness calms All of These!
