Like a River

A wise friend told me: “Rejection isn’t rejection,

But rather angels giving you better direction.”

As I peer back into time,

I find that this world truly does rhyme.

May trust move through you, rushing like a river.

I once tried my best to see Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Until I stumbled upon the simple joy in sitcom reruns.

So, burning down the house did stop,

“Return to nature,” crowed every treetop.

May truth stream through you, flowing like a river.

I heard that some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.

Still, when love embraces me, all the hurts collapse.

Then, happiness brightens the smile,

A fashion that never goes out of style.

May joy bound through you, roaring like a river.

May truth stream through you, flowing like a river.

May trust move through you, rushing like a river.

May joy bound through you, roaring like a river.
