From high mountain meadow

River begins fateful trip

One mile follows another

Flowing at steady clip

Creator’s light precedes

Clear path to river’s glory

Journey shaping each landscape

Scripting nature’s story

Time shall never stand still

River’s persistence will win

Always forward to its goal

Streaming patience within

Day will come, very soon

River sets up final score

Faithful waters running free

Asking for nothing more

Ocean’s waters ahead

Finish line in river’s sight

Peace traveling through its pulse

Pulling eternal might
