Rivers Of Life

The Rivers: Inside And Out.

There are rivers in and around: you and me.
Some are deeply hidden, and some we can see.
They are both seen through small microscopic eyes,
and pictured by satellites from deep within our skies.
The microscope shows: where blood cells can reside,
while aerial photos show Rivers: long, deep, and wide.
It’s not just the size, but the river flow is important too,
for the current is important to carry a journey through.
Whether from pumping hearts, or to downhill streams,
both Rivers Of Life have a purpose for us it seems.

And it shall be that every living thing that moves,
wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be very 
great multitude of fish, because these waters go there;
for they will be healed, and everything will
live wherever the river goes. ( Ezekiel 47:9 )
