The River of Life
LIFE
is like a river :
It flows on and on, non-stop!
We are sailing in this river !
May we be good sailors !
When the water is calm;
we float and we swim
in its glorious water.
At times we meet the storms of life
.
Waves of adversities .
We are drowning !
Then we clutch on to God .
He is our hope when all hopes fail.
At times we cling to wistful hopes :
We hope we can turn back time
And relive moments of estacy ,
moments of love or truths .
Sometimes life is a song .
We sing its melody ...
in tune with our hope ,
In tune with our ambitions ,
In tune with the world.
But sometimes it is otherwise !
Friends , if you are sorrowful ,
I hope God will take away your pain:
and you'll reap the grain
Of earthly joy.
Sooner or later ,
we will sail in a different river ;
THE RIVER OF ETERNITY .
Heaven's door is wide open :
If we remember to pray to Him that made us,
While sailing in the river of life .
If we remember to keep His commandments
While sailing in the river of life .
If we remember to love all
men or living creatures
While sailing in the river of life .
Then , by chance:
we'll see His welcome smile .
When that day comes !
