In the River~

Washed Away~

The river beckons,
excitement , wonder.
Two little boys go in.
Splash, scream!
Two little boys shout,
joyful, carefree.
Big brown dog shakes,
water flies.
The river calls,
quiet, low.
Two rocks skip,
splash, flip.
Crawdads scatter,
scurry, hide.
Water cold,
boys grow bold.
The river travels,
swift, wild.
The river rolls on,
gone the child.
Two young men emerge,
as Summer ends.
