My River Water
Help me friend, I have lost touch with my geography. The radio host liken something to the youthfulness to a river where the strength is in the early stages but after a while it dies down. In fact he said that at the source the river is strongest. I seem to have confusion here since I recall that the river may be comparative calm the closer to the source.

My River Water My source
is a powerful waterfall Yesterday
a mere drip but today not at all Rushing
waters beat and dug deep into my bed I find
children play in my calm pool like shed Very lower
down miles away Every rock
or obstruction meet grave dismay Removed by
the strength I built up on my way down Water so
rapid no bathers will be found And so please
don’t be fooled by my lengthy course The stronger
I can get the farther from my source Everyone soon
learns from a visit my friend River
waters can get very rapid when nearing the end |
The source of the river can be easy flowing or it can rough, it all depends on what the source is, the trajectory of the river and the landscape which the rivers runs through. But the flow capacity is what qualitifes it to be a river having a source and a mouth. So you are not off in your thinking, the circumstances dictate the flow.
