      I'm so sorry for your loss WuCurdy, that was a beautiful parting song, even though you didn't know it at the time.
      I lost my brother to drowning, I can picture he and I singing this, he was an avid fisherman & a powerful singer.
      Wishing you comfort & solace.

    Lyrics:
    All that I have is a river
    The river is always my home
    Lord, take me away
    For I just cannot stay
    Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones
    The water sustains me without even trying
    The water can't drown me, I'm done
    With my dying
    Please help me build a small boat
    One that'll ride on the flow
    Where the river runs deep
    And the larger fish creep
    I'm glad of what keeps me afloat
    The water sustains me without even trying
    The water can't drown me, I'm done
    With my dying
    Now deeper the water I sail
    And faster the current I'm in
    That each night brings the stars
    And the song in my heart
    Is a tune for the journeyman's tale
    The water sustains me without even trying
    The water can't drown me, I'm done
    With my dying
    Now the land that I knew is a dream
    And the line on the distance grows faint
    So wide is my river
    The horizon a sliver
    The artist has run out of paint
    Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
    And the big yellow sun leads me home
    I'm everywhere now
    The way is a vow
    To the wind of each breath by and by
    The water sustains me without even trying
    The water can't drown me, I'm done
    With my dying

It felt right to be singing this tune while examining nature and oneself. Water isn't being created, nor destroyed, only transformed. The idea of change was hope while walking. To all of you out there, "Buen Camino!"

Water forever remains a sign from my father's spirit self. He was very, very difficult (okay violent) in real life but now that he's crossed over he's transformed into love, and the water flows.
