A Calm River

A Calm River
by Myrtle Thomas

On my way through this life
Fighting my way through toils and strife
False loves and friends too
And feeling happiness and feeling blue

Time I guess, found me one day
Feeling hopeless and wondering is this all there is
Childhood dreams and working hard
To find the things I'd dreamed of


But lost in a world that pasted me by
To strong I was, I guess to cry
But I gave in, and found myself in a calm river
Ever moving through my life, and brings solice to my soul

Always moving calmly and smoothly
But washing over me
And as I listen the water says, be calm dear
For the CAPTAIN will care for you

Moving along at its own pace
And ever moving with such grace
Picking up passengers as it rolls
And the river refreshes our souls


I have a fountain on my porch
And the water flowing there brings peace
But it makes me recall the day I found the river of life
