Love like a river flows both fast and slow

Yet ever onward to a boundless sea,

Past many shore side pageants it must go

Along life’s journey to eternity.

I sprang from mountain springs in carefree days

And from those heights did laugh and babble on

Drawn forth by faith’s sure gravity of ways,

O’er cataracts and rapids sang my song.

At some sweet confluence our lives entwined

And love with warmer love commingled there,

Your heart became my heart as souls aligned

And we surged onward with one course to share;

Though brackish water shall touch streams in time,

Love’s alluvium shall mark that course sublime.
