RIVER JOURNEY
by Modar Neznanich
(1977)
Life is a journey we must all take.
A flowing river we must sail,
No matter how long or how short.
Sometimes that river bends,
And someone's ship is lost from sight;
At least for a time.
But, in the end, we all dock
At the same port.
Each of us having sailed our own course,
In our own way, but all are part
Of the same waters.
And this day,
After years of sailing alone,
I have met someone.
Someone to sail with me,
Beside me,
To help me weather the storms,
And keep me from grounding
In shallow waters.
Someone who fills the days
And ends the loneliness.
Someone who cares;
Someone I will always love.
And if the day should ever come
That the river bends
And one of us must sail on,
I shall not fret
Even though I shed tears of parting.
Because I know that one day
We shall both be docked
At that same port.
Together forever.
The end of our
River Journey.
