If I Were A River

If I were a river I would gladly accept my destiny To nourish and replenish the earth To permeate the dry river beds & create a beautiful niche To swell my heart with the life giving substance And pour my heart out to every soul I meet I would gladly accept my great responsibilities And transport the much needed life support to my kingdom I would offer fish & water to the hungry & thirsty I would be a messenger & the message of peace and freedom I would take great joy in nourishing and sustaining life If I were a river I would refuse to stay stagnant I would endeavour to take my payload to the needy I would never refuse to quench thirst I would always willingly give my water away I would put the needs of others before mine I would pour out my heart to the desert And replenish the valleys and the mountains I would never tire to carry a heavy load to the driest places on earth I would carry my work with determination and passion I would fulfil my destiny by going all the way to the ocean Where I would pour all the last drop of my Love & surrender my life "The river that never reach the ocean dies an undignified death."
