River of Hope

"Golden Heart"
by Atlanta Marie Carrera

Hope flows like a river

inside your heart,

a fire in the water,

desire burning bright.

Draw strength from its current.

Find love in its depths.

Life’s joys in the ripples,

bobbing up and down.

Reflections of sunshine,

bathing you with light.

A babbling of meaning,

your spirit hears.

Float with the river,

through every bend,

as it carries your soul

beyond river’s end.
