River Life His strength is a river, As powerful as his love. Simply a rock in the river, His strength wears her down. Smooth and soft, She remains a pebble, And yet his power Keeps her adrift. Then he plummets to the earth. She is dragged to the bottom, But under his current She has a safe haven. The Rock The water rushed over the rock. The rock travelled far, But then the rock was suddenly thrown down. The ever flowing river slowly eroded the rock away Until the rock was all but gone, And the waters did recede. But that beautiful rock Was nothing but a grain of sand.
