The river does shine in the valley of sunlight <br />As it flows gently around rock and stone, <br />Its sound is like music from heaven that's playing <br />It roams and it wanders as I watch alone. <br />Pure waters so clear breathing life to the landscape <br />So cool and refreshing on this summer's day, <br />Giving me strength to walk on in the distance <br />Viewing its wonder I follow its way. <br /> <br />The hillsides surrounding the valley of sunlight <br />So green and so pretty that now lies before, <br />They tower above me and I feel so lucky <br />To witness the sight of this vision once more. <br />Pure waters so clear breathing life to the landscape <br />So cool and refreshing on this summer's day, <br />Giving me strength to walk on in the distance <br />Viwing its wonder I follow its way. <br /> <br />The skies up above in the valley of sunlight <br />Blue as a sapphire and still is the air, <br />A picture of peace in this place of such beauty <br />Leading me forth to the joys it does share. <br />Pure waters so clear breathing life to the landscape <br />So cool and refreshing on this summer's day, <br />Giving me strength to walk on in the distance <br />Viewing its wonder I follow its way.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pure-waters/
