Follow the flow of the Tees

Follow the flow of the Tees
Meet the folk whose sweat
and tears shaped the land,
brought in the bounty,
shifted the steel to build
Better places.

Follow the flow of the Tees.
Meet the people who fish
in peace.  Look for a seal or two.
See them bobbing, watching you
watching them.  Observe them catching the 
rays of the sun on the sand.

Follow the flow of the Tees
Day dream on the swirls and foam,
a moving picture on top of the murky depths.
Who would care to venture down?
Not me.  I enjoy watching the wildlife
busy foraging for food as I pass by,
following the flow of the Tees.
