The stones bring character to the river
For without them, it is bland.
And flows along without a song
Eroding at the sand.
But with the stones, the river screams
And shrieks with laugh and love.
Rocks make it exciting, and even enlighting
When rainwater joins from above.
With the stones, the rapids could
Bring happiness to the land.
The stones bring character to the river.
And without them it is bland.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
