Story of the River
With a deep breath I traveled to find myself
And the me, my talents that is my wealth
That is when I had a chat with the river just the other day
He told me his story in sense of my dismay
He spoke of times of tensions and doubts
That left him feeling like he has befallen a drought
He couldn’t see himself as vast as the ocean
Facing each day with lesser and lesser emotion
He knew with each passing day he was disappearing
Then he remembered the songs of those who were endearing
They said don’t fret and be strong
For only you can reassure yourself that you can’t be wrong
For why should you let the world dictate
As there is no one better than you to imitate
True there are others whom you hope to become
But only you hold the card that unleashes your trump
So quit wallowing in uncertainty
Go forth and make value of your dexterity
The river thus became still
To me my reflection he then revealed
The wind blew and its wings gently touched the river
Drawing ripples which grew larger and larger
He then said I still have much to discover
Despite the gifts and talents that I already have armored
Believe in yourself that you stand firm
And thus this chapter will now adjourn
I hope you see what other like me do in you
So go forth and start this life of yours anew
