That Old River Comments

I agree with Terrence. Absolutely beautiful poem. And so true.

This is a very beautiful poem, from the first wonderful stanza, the poem invites contemplation and appreciation of the tone and style of the beautiful verse form. Time and life are also rivers, which invites the question, do we go with the flow, the path of least resistant, with mainstream ideas and acceptance, of what is? Or do we impose questions, about society, life and go against popular opinions; when morals and ethical issues are raised. When younger in the physical and metaphorical examples of this context, I liked to swim floods, the easy way is not always the right way. Read with appreciation Smoky.

Old Man River just keeps rolling, and will carry on rolling long after our demise. Great poem Smoky.
