Life is like a river.

Life is like a river,

In the beginning,

It bubbles a lot,

As if forever.

A child also thinks,

He or she,

Can live forever,

They think life’s a crystal stair.

Then the river slows,

as life reaches its lows,

and of course,

it’s highs.

It then becomes smooth,

when we become lazy,

then it feels as if it’s not moving

that’s is our old age

Then it goes out

into the ocean just like

us, going up

into the heavens.

Savor every moment

as the wind blows in your hair

when one life ends

another begins.
