I take a walk at the rivers bend
Right down the path where calm waters flow
Warm winds blow
What do they send warm flowing thoughts?
At the rivers bend"

"
Sending ripples through the water
At the rivers bend
There, you can take your dreams
So they will come true"

At The Rivers Bend

by

Tears rolling down the Heartstring, (2004)  p.11

A gentle wind blows through the trees
As a cloud  floats across the sun
A shadow moves by
Like the wind and the sky
Makes you see blue
As a leaf falls across the view
Who knew what the river could do

At the days end
I take a walk at the rivers bend
Right down the path where calm waters flow
Warm winds blow
What do they send warm flowing thoughts?
At the rivers bend

The warm sun heats up the ground
As a girl sets getting a tan
A bird flies over her head
She throws food in the air
As the trees start to blow
You know what the water will do

Sending ripples through the water
At the rivers bend
There, you can take your dreams
So they will come true
