Dashing through the river of life
never giving a care
every turn a new adventure
excitement in the air
There are rapids
around each twist and turn
a thrill a minute
of something we yearn
Oh the years
they dash by so fast
never giving a thought
if the adventure will last
We reach the top
of the great waterfall
tossing and turning
alas there is a fall
The river is quiet
it flows so slow
time to reflect
before we go
The journey was fun
we learned quite a lot
time to rest our heads
dreaming under the night's dots
It is morning
time to rise again
dashing to another adventure
sharing life till the end
