    As I went out walking, on a fine summer day
    Through hills and the valleys, I soon lost my way
    'Til I came to an old man, kneeling down by a stream
    Gazing into the water like he was lost in a dream
    In his hand was a picture he clung to for life
    His eyes filled with tears as he tried not to cry
    He looked to the heavens and started to pray
    In the quiet country silence, I could hear the man say
    Life is a river, I'll go with the flow
    And where it will take me, the Lord only knows
    I'll miss you sweetheart, your kindness and love
    But I know one day, we'll sail away on God's ocean above
    He said, "Now young man, you're a stranger to me
    Could I bother you kindly for your company?
    Today I am thinking of a time long ago
    And I need to tell someone of a girl I loved so
    It's 42 years today since Rose took my hand
    And proudly I lived life, her husband, her man
    'Til only last week son, God took her away
    As I kissed her softly, these words she did say"
    "Life is a river, I'll go with the flow
    And where it will take me, the Lord only knows
    I'll miss you sweetheart, your kindness and love
    But I know one day, we'll sail away on God's ocean above"
    And with that, the old man sent me on my way
    And sat by the water, I'll kneel for the day
    I look at the river, starting out on its life
    It's where I feel close to my beautiful wife

    When our destiny is written ,we can not change it no matter how we behave,the only thing is that we must accept all things Giod give us good or bad ,life must go on.
    I,m refering to the person losing both his father and his brother, it is God who has decided their destiny. Death is inevitabile, it is sth against our or beyond our capacity.
