River Memories
summer river flow,
in happy sunny days,
my youth spent drinking your sweet water,
when swimming and tubing,
along your wild and exotic way,
you strengthened me for days spent in labor,
under the hot unforgiving sun,
renewal happening in your cool waters,
a first kiss,
skinny dipping with my first true love,
the memories,
a fountain of youth,
strengthening me for days spent old and bent,
and battling pain.
