Life is a River

Life is a river

Ever flowing, never stopping,

Sweeping us along,

Whether we consent or not.

And like in a river,

We can swim, float

Or sink.

Each choice in life

Brings us to each,

And we almost all

Go through them all.

Swimming, floating, sinking.

All we can do is hope-

Hope that when we’re swimming,

We can share it with others.

When we’re floating,

We can start to swim,

And when we’re sinking,

Someone will be there,

To help us back up,

To help us to swim.

[Coyote Poetry]

Life is like a river. From birth to death we seem to be following a safe and straight path. Sometime we will need help like you stated in the poem. I like this poem. You told a very good story with your words. I like the ending. A excellent poem.
