Whitewater Poems - Poems about Whitewater


Whitewater
Foaming water, hard to see, raft rocketing rapidly, constant roaring on the air, everything soaked, toe to hair, paddles plunge and the bow shifts slowly through the angry mists, shoots past rocks, and eddies white, the river drops out of sight, stomach lurches, I feel tall, plunge down a small waterfall, splash hard in a swirling pool, spun ’round as if on a spool, hard strokes bring...

Whitewater Rafting
Life is like a whitewater rafting ride With turbulence and crashing waves Fear not of what lies ahead 'Cause God will guide your way Don't be afraid to make mistakes And swiftly move with currents strong Life's chaos can be daunting But, with Him, you'll get along Rest in His calm, soothing peace And thank Him for the ride Trust Him to guide you through As...
