~ Oh River, My Heart ~
by:  O' Puppy

Love is like, a river, they say
It winds around, the world each day
While reaching out, to make a friend
In hopes of lasting, till the end

From dusk till dawn, its beauty flows
Beneath, the distant stars, it goes
Across, the silent prairie night
This endless gift, that needs no light

Like sand, that drifts the desert floor
Erasing, what was left before
Oh, humble river, find my heart
And wash away, the hurting part

Before the daylight, finds my pain
I pray your waters, bring new rain
Upon my heart, so broken now
I need for you, to mend, somehow

So...gentile, loving, waters find
The heart, another left behind
And wash it with, grace from above
Then give it to, the one I'll love
