River Child

She is a river that I

cannot wade through;

too deep are it's currents

which lead to the sea,

and all of the dreams I

could never imagine

birthed in her the moment birth

pulled her

from me

I sit on her shore

and I watch as the water

laps playfully

carelessly

dodging my feet

She rushes ahead,

strong and sure,

and I hope

that she'll wave

once her river and ocean

tides meet

Quote of the Day:

"Math is my life.

They were right when they told us that

we would use it every day. I do.

The thing I use most is fractions."
