A river that flows clean and wide
Is a river that is bold enough
It feels like a song when it roars
With calmness it talks about freedom;
It is a river that knows its direction
It never quarrels with its cause
It just cuts through clearly
It gives life and eternity,
It offers shelter and protection
It quenches thirst
It replenishes
It is therapeutic,
It gives birth to more
It causes heavy falls and beautiful sceneries
It’s the river of Life
That is of no use to itself
But to the things around
Things that are sometimes ungrateful.
