Push out the boat and let us row downriver, <br />Under bridges and around each curving bend. <br />Dipping the oars as cleanly as we’re able, <br />And pulling strongly, to reach our journey’s end. <br /> <br />The currents are quite powerful as we travel, <br />And concentration has to be intense, <br />But we will keep a rhythm in the doing, <br />And on completion, thrills will be immense. <br /> <br />Push out the boat and let us row upriver, <br />Gliding through the water like a dream. <br />Such a sight, is this vessel when in motion, <br />As we together, make our way upstream. <br /> <br />In control, there can be nothing nicer, <br />Great fulfilment with each stroke that’s plied. <br />A Sunday afternoon of such sheer pleasure, <br />When skimming o’er the water, starry-eyed. <br /> <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/keep-a-rhythm/
