The world moves by in front of me
It is like a river running
Who can follow one drop
No-one, it is absorbed into the body
A river is a body of water
Immeasurable drops of water
Only when you reach in and grab a handful
Can you see the drops fall from your hand
We are but drops of water
Yet we are life and we give life
Rushing with swirling eddies
If you put your foot in the river
And pull it out
Then put it back again
It is not the same river
The water has changed
Moved on so quickly
I close my eyes to see
The memories flood my mind
Times when I was a child
In my childhood home
Times when I raised my own tribe
Who have long since grown and gone
In the meditations of my heart
I feel the hopes and dreams
I look back now and see
So many things I worried about are over
And this moment will be over
It will rush by like the river
Things changed and continue to
New hopes must arise
Discipline is the key
Managing the time left
It is a balance to spin the plates
Sometimes one falls and breaks
It’s our mistakes that teach us valuable lessons
As we weave the tapestry of our lives
We write our stories
Cherish every minute
Whenever you spend time
With the ones you love
Sometimes we must rest and sleep
But when I open my eyes
I want to see you in my minds eye
All of you, my tribe
I see a world of possibility
For each one of you
And I see me
Blessed to have this time on earth
There is more
So much more
And I want to follow the path that leads me to it!
