I sat by a creek bank, just the other day
watching the water, carry a leaf away.
I thought to myself, is this the way life goes
it runs through my mind, no one knows.
You are here on earth, for just a little while
so learn to love and share a great smile.
People are many and friends are few
love and happiness, is being with you.
I thought about that leaf, as I watched it go
was it's purpose really served, I'll never know.
Then I thought about myself, holding my life steady
wondering when the river of life called, will I be ready.
Really can't answer that and I know it's true
but when I go, you know I'll leave loving you.
Love and life go hand in hand; you have put it into a clearer perspective my friend. We all go but life can serve its purpose when we are able to cheer some lonesome hearts! you have cheer mine. Thanks. worth 10.
