Crystal Lake



Love is like a river,
Flowing here and there,
Over pebbles, rocks, and boulders,
With tender loving care,
At times storms, and waterfalls,
Will make that river shake,
But a river that flows in love,
Leads to a crystal lake,
For love and life,
Is full of strife,
Troubles both big, and small,
But faith and love,
Will rise above,
The river that has seen it all.
