Alo n g t h e
River s id e
By Nathan V.
I lie along the riverside,
Content as I can be?
The birds are singing
songs while I'm
Enjoying my ice cream.
The sun, it shines so
tenderly,
The breeze flows through
my hair.
The trees stretch out their
rustling leaves
Into the evening air.
The stream is flowing
quietly,
Its murmur barely heard
'Bove the spontaneous
melody
Of ever-singing birds.
Oh, the joy of summer,
Of nature in its prime!
Oh Lord, your ever
wondrous works
Amaze this heart of mine!
I lie along the riverside,
Content as I can be?
I marvel at Creation while
Enjoying my ice cream.
