    Just heard of Derek today as a post on Facebook. Looked him up on TH-cam. Brilliant singer and songwriter. Love ❤️ songs that tell a story. I’m living in Australia so not up to date on the Irish ☘️ country music scene. But I hope he is tops over there.

    Was having a bad day and then I listened to this song and remembered reading a story about a lovely young man who recently lost his life to cancer. This was his favourite song and it made me think I shouldn't be so selfish with my own problems but to think of those facing bigger problems x x x amazing how a song can touch a community through the story of one courage person x x x prayers tonight for his girlfriend, family and friends x x x

    As I went out walking, on a fine summers day.
    Through hills and the valleys, I soon lost my way.
    'till 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 heaven's 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, your 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 forty-two years today, since Rose took my hand.
    And proudly I lived life, her husband her man.
    'Till 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 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 it's life.
    It's where I feel close to, my beautiful wife.

    I love the song ! Was I the only one crying while watching this video ? 😢😢😢
    I searched for this song because my cousin who has a prostate cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy posted it on his story...
