The Canoe Trip
Gliding carefully through the water
With my sister, mother and father
Letting my worries drift away, suddenly I am free
To fully enjoy the beauty of this endless scenery
As I pass plants and animals of every different kind
I begin to compare this trip to the depths of my mind
The rivers are like thoughts always changing and a flowing
Filling a lake of memories that’s always expanding and a growing
Other rivers flow away
The different paths we must choose between every day
Very few lead to the magnificent waterfall
Roaring, rushing, tumbling down to the greatest end of all
But long before then the river gets rough
And many travelers turn back because this river is too tough
You will never reach the pot of gold
If you are unwilling to climb he rainbow before you become too old
So let your imagination soar
And don’t be afraid of the waterfall’s roar
The way you think is best is the way you should choose
And not because one way might get you wet in the shoes
So like an osprey let your imagination soar
And take you to heights you never thought of before
But remember as you fly
Don’t be afraid to explore every inch of that crystal-blue sky
