River

My bed flowing
My fish swimming
My water running
My mouth never eating
This is me

Children running and paddling in me
They don’t even pay a fee
They take a lot a joy
Sometimes I am destroyed
These are memories I always forget

But there is one person
She treats me like I am the one
She tends and she is gentle
She is never resentful
These are memories I always remember

The mountains are around
And so is the ground
They sometimes play tricks
But they never pass the click
These are memories I sometimes remember

Sometimes I hate
Sometimes I love
Sometimes I like things served on a plate
Sometimes I want to be flying in the sky like a dove

This is me.
