By the River

By the River

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

By the River

 

It flows freely,

Ever moving with ease.

Ripples in its steady stream
Bubble with anticipation of what’s to be.

 

In my spirit, am I standing by the river,

And see myself in its shimmer.

My dreams in there somewhere,

I see them moving there.

 

Dare I drop a pebble of faith

Into this little space?

To let go of my worldly fears

And unleash these hopeful tears?

 

Flow… flow… flow…

God only knows

Where it will go…

And what it will sow.

 

Yes, I dare to toss my cares

And let God meet me there.

I’m standing with a heart rendered

By the river.

Beautiful and hopeful words dear Melinda.
"Yes, I dare to toss my cares
And let God meet me there.
I’m standing with a heart rendered
By the river."
