The river flows gently through the wind
The river is as wet, as the grass is green
The river is the only thing that makes me smile
But all the while
The river shimmers like a bird fluttering its wings
The river makes a gentle noise
That brings me to my knees
Although the river is very cold
The river is so inviting that a warm light appears
It warms me up in the evening
The river is home to animals big and small
Animals that are so beautiful in their own special way
Every day I hope to go back
I hope to go back to the spectacular river.
