Water bumbled
as it came down the falls
powerful and rushing
a wonder for all
River repeats this pattern
each and every day
mirroring life
in nature's way
Our lives float along
serene and smooth
not much happening
not causing us to move
A sudden event
tragic or fun
causes us to fall
do we cry or run
The adventure carries us
bumbling down the fall
into the stream
to catch us all
Opportunities in life
good or bad
filled with adventure
happy or sad
The choice is ours
to make
living life fully
which road will you take
