With river banks on either side
Destiny's cradle embarks on life's ride
Through spring fed rills and meadows fair
travels child to adulthood maturing there
Vast canyons deep and stone walls rise
Gives lofty caution to the wise
shore up resolve and strength renew
Rough, rapid falls ahead of you
River rushes, twist and turn
Turbulence swells and troubles churn
The ups and downs of life will end
In calm repose, 'round river's bend
Success resplendent pride to be
Humble thanks we owe to Thee
as river flows down to the sea
It's comforting banks embraces me
In spirits cheer and energy
there's One who cares for you and me
He calms the storm and brights the night
An obedient soul, His heart's delight
When finally the sea's in view
And death is closing in on you
Have no fear, you rode the tide
And in His loving care abide
For the river's bank on either side
of sparkling waters deep and wide
Portray a life-scene at its best
Oh, faithful one, you've earned your rest

Author Notes
I took this of the Meremec River in Missouri, it's a great one to float. Serene but with just enough rough water to make it challenging. We are very blessed if our life is like the river moving Destiny's cradle through the rushing waters of life.
