Flow softly sweet river of time
\nFlow gently o\u2019er rapids ahead
\nRun easy for all of these children of mine
\nAsleep and like you in their bed<\/p>\n
They dream as they sleep by the fire
\nTheir future uncertain but bright
\nI dream of their dreams, deeper and higher
\nAs I stare at the river tonight<\/p>\n
And if, should the rapids o\u2019ertake\u00a0 them,
\nYou find I\u2019m not there at the stern
\nPlease cushion their blows, while letting them go
\nAnd help them to live and to learn<\/p>\n
