" I flow so clear
I'm just a wave
I spread towards infinity
many lives I save "
so spoke the river to its dear friend
..........................The Lake
"side - by - side,
I give plenty company
I help to keep boats floating
Titanic..an exception..perhaps one in many"
Said the lake,"oh dear friend..
to tell your will you command
and yet when one fish dies
a recount you demand !!
you must understand..that to give life - A privilege
to take a life - an unwanted power
but to be called a 'river of life'
blessings must be showered"
Spoke now the river......
"whatever do you mean oh wise one??
don't I save lives as well as give??
i do not understand...what is undone???"
The lake now spoke wisely..
"To be called a river of life..means to be sacred
for all one can do is pray
and hope that goodwill will come their way
BUT,for that one needs to understand that......
choices come but many a times
to decide upon which does suffice
by making the right decisions
you shall be called the river of life ! "
And So -The Lake- left -The River- in all confusion...
