I am a stream

I am a stream

I am a stream.
I wonder if the fish like swimming in me.
I hear the birds tweet when they drink from me.
I see the sun shining above.
I want to know how the flowers like me.

I am a long stream that runs into the river.
I pretend to be the river sometimes.
I feel the sun on my back.
I touch the stones as I run by.
I wonder that one day I will dry up.
I cry with the water thinking about it.

I am an ocean when I leave the river.
I understand that one day I will dry up.
I say I'll never run to the river, but I do.
I dream of staying a stream and letting everyone drink from me.
I try to stay, but I just keep running by.
I am a stream.
