THE LAZY RIVER
Slowly, silently, the current carries on
Down the lazy river of yesteryear
Depositing memories from long ago
And withdrawing emotions of the past
When did life get so complicated
That an afternoon on the shore is exhausting
And why did our reminiscences disappear
In the blink of the great urban sprawl
Turning back the tides of time
Reliving what we lost
The lazy river protects our hope
And gently wishes us on
