riverside would be her home
its flow had shown her how she’d grown
together here with God above
she’d found at last the worth of Love
to nevermore be so held back
by hateful tidings sense of lack
that part which left was not of her
just terror wrought by all the stir
she’d found her place with Peace at last
still holding Hope to cleanse the past
a seed for growth and healing change
the kind they’d been sent here to make
