I am the river

I am the river.
I flow over the cold surface of the rock.
Each day my speed changes.
In each bend I make my mark.

I am the river.
I never stay in one place too long.
I never stop and stare.
Each day is an adventure.
For I am never back to where I began.

I am the river.
Strong and proud
I give hope to some
and take away sin.
I purify the darkest days to make them shine.

I am the river.
I make my mark everyday
I cut and carve my world
Soon the world I want, will be carved.

I am the river.
