The River That Runs Clear
The river that runs clear
Is like a love that holds true
Pure and everlasting
As the water I can see through
High on a mountain
Looking over the valley of yesterday
It’s hard to see tomorrow
For the reality of today
But the river that runs clear
Is calm and serene
Cool and freely flowing
It quinches thirst and brings peace
I know it exists
For I’ve seen it in my mind
So my heart will go on searching
And maybe someday it will find
This place I’ve heard you speak of
So beautiful and dear
I hope I’m there with you
Beside the river that runs clear

I enjoy the way you use repetition in this piece
Your wording around the natural world is well really done, and your use of it as metaphor for the purity of a genuine love is touching. I like the rhyming, too.
