Journey of a River

I start my journey at the top,
Deep deep under the ground.
I change into a stream for people to hop,
My adventure has begun.

I meet a friend and we grow together,
Grow until we're something new.
I transform into a great gushing river,
With canoes like spiders in my back.

But as I journey on through my life,
The path is getting rocky.
It gets very narrow like a knife edge,
Ahead my first barrier.

The path is sloping downwards,
It comes to a deadly drop.
I get a last glorious glimpse of leafy woods.

I fall...

The sensational feeling of flying,
Is far to much to bear.
Make it stop, I'm trying,
I hit the water with a final crash.

Waking gently, I flow down.
To the end, to the sea.
