The river double bend

Where water churns

Forced to change course

Reluctantly turning 

Steadily eating away the bank

Eventually breaking though

To form an oxbow lake

While the river flows straight by

Sometimes life is like a river

You get carried along

Without being in control

Pushed and pulled in all directions

Often to places you do not like

Until you discover your own straight path

Have the strength and will to break away

Its so rewarding to plot your own course
