Rivers

We have many rivers to cross
Many burdens to bear in this life
Many trials to overcome
We have times in our lives
When it feels like the river 
Can get very deep
When it feels we are 
Swimming upstream
Just when you think
You have crossed over
There is another river
Waiting for you to wade through
The water can get over our heads
Can drown us until we cant breathe
We have to be willing to cross the rivers
To wade in the waters for a little while longer
Washing up whatever life floats our way
We have to be willing to get a little wet in life
To truly get ourselves clean
Washing away the old you
With a brand new one
As you float along the rivers of life
