So long we rode this river fast and free,
\nand thought not on its speed nor of its depth.
\nOur trip too long to think not on our glee
\nand chart our course, nor note this water\u2019s breadth.
\nFew thoughts of those who fell over the side
\nwhen rocks against we crashed or storm did rise.
\nNot close were those though sharing the same ride,
\nthe risk of sailing known and all advised.
\nTo fall so quick into the water cold
\na fate not harshly thought of us who sail,
\nand glad to board this vessel uncontrolled
\nto face the chance of tempest strong and gale.
\nThis ride with you I take and not look back
\nto safer shores or course of riskless tack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
