River

[Leoniejade]

Some days I can't say why I'm feeling lonely

Some days I am too proud to ask for help

And I stumble through the noise

Trying to find some peace

A stranger in the crowd, I lose myself

So, I walk down to the river

Where the troubles, they can't find me

Let the waters there remind me

The sun will be there when we wake

I walk down to the river

Though I might not understand it

It's not always as we planned it

But we grow stronger when we break

So, I walk down to the river

I walk down to the river

This raging world can get so overwhelming

Looking for a meaning when it won't make sense

In my head its getting loud

Like I can't outrun this cloud

No matter where I go well there I am

So, I walk down to the river

Where the troubles, they can't find me

Let the waters there remind me

The sun will be there when we wake

I walk down to the river

Though I might not understand it

It's not always as we planned it

But we grow stronger when we break

So, I walk down to the river

I walk down to the river

Let the calm pull me under

Far beyond the thunder

Tell me it will all be okay

Let the waves take all my worries

Conquer them with fury

Give me shelter be my escape

I walk down to the river

Where the troubles, they can't find me

Let the waters there remind me

The sun will be there when we wake

I walk down to the river

Though I might not understand it

It's not always as we planned it

But we grow stronger when we break

So, I walk down to the river

I walk down to the river

I walk down to the river

I walk down to the river

To the river

To the river

I walk down oh, oh, oh

To the river oh, oh, oh

Love the lord thy God with all thy might and with all thy soul and thou will find peace and contentment!

[AbFab62]

And so I sit in my garden and watch the clouds roll across the sky, listen to the birds and wind in the trees and there I find peace.

No matter what's going on around me or within me I ask myself "Am I breathing?" The answer is of course yes, so I relax and be mindful of the present. As Elenor Roosevelt said "Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery, today is a gift." and as the Dali Lama says, "If a problem can be solved, there's no point in worrying about it, if it can't be solved, worrying does no good."
