The river

I've seen rivers run I've seen em flow watched in the spring when they would overflow,watched them In the winter when under the ice it would go.It always finds a way, it has a purpose, it feeds wildlife ,its marks the time of the land ,and it soothes the mind of this mortal man.It never asks you questions ,it won't bother you if you leave it be .It speeds and it slows on its way to the sea .How many years have you flowed?How many gallons how many reasons you have collected the same many seasons ?Your before me ,always there for me,I'm sure long after me,I saw you and you never knew me.You tricked me ,made me swim you didn't care it was winter when some how you drew me near then threw me in.Bravo my oldest friend again and again you win.We had fun,still you run I'll see you a few more times probably, never am I too sure ,I'll walk away you'll run the same way day after day you got to go and I can't stay...
