Pathways Etched into Memories

I have a love for family unity and I have a sister is going through rough times right now. I wrote this for her, Lori Phillips.

A current flows ever gently;
eating away strength,
constantly chipping emotions,
weathering away time.

Soon the current will become faster;
tearing the soul apart,
breaking into shards,
leaving anger, hurt, and a broken spirit.

The path has been etched;
into the eyes of man,
into the woman's heart,
into a child's will.

Rivers have been formed;
of love,
of family,
of siblings.

The river is never broken;
it shows strength that is freely given,
a spirit that will never break,
passing moments will become like the last.

No wrong has been done;
the Currents will become Rivers,
emotions stirred will settle,
love will continue.
