My life is like a river
It started as a trickle
And immediately began to gather and grow
It flows ever onward
Toward the inevitable dissolution
In the vast eternal ocean
Along the way it shrinks and grows
Suffering drought and flood
Sometimes it gets polluted
Sometimes it is transparent
At times it is serene
At other times it is a raging torrent
Always flowing, perhaps forward, but certainly never backward
And now two rivers are joined
And we flow together as one
Both toward that inevitable dissolution
Which we cannot yet see
But at which we know we must eventually arrive
So we meander
Enduring the winters
Enjoying the moments of sunshine
While we can
