The Journey of Life
In the whisper of a meandering river,Life’s journey unfolds, twisting and turning,Reflecting skies in shimmering quiver,Each bend a new path, ever yearning. Mountains loom high, shadows cast deep,Echoes of trials that shape and define,Through rocky canyons, where secrets sleep,The river flows onward, a lifeline. Soft banks of repose, moments of grace,Where waters slow down, gentle…
