 THE RIVER OF TIME By Ed Morykwas One drop of time turns into a river That carries you down to the infinite sea. And it sings as it splashes in glorious sunshine, "Come be a sailor, a sailor with me." From your very first step, you've heard its voice calling, Smoother than music, sweeter than rhyme. With every new birthday, your life's great adventure Is sailing the uncharted river of time. So set your own course and make your own choices-- To love, to grow, to discover, to dance. With God as your guide, show your courage and pride. You won't ever know if you don't take a chance... Today is a treasure not to be wasted, Even the richest millionaire knows that it's true. Time is a stealer, but it's also a healer. Hang onto your dreams because they'll pull you through. Many years from now, when your traveling ends And your hair is gradually turning to gray, You will smile at your circle of family and friends, Then in a soft voice, you'll hear yourself say: The secret of life Is to never quit living. What's around the next bend, No one can tell. When things get rough And you're surrounded by trouble, Just head for the future And paddle like hell. Yes, one drop of time turns into a river That carries you down to the infinite sea. And it sings as it splashes in glorious sunshine, "Come be a sailor, a sailor with me."
