To be where we feel the most at peace, somewhere that brings joy, stillness, and quiet contemplation. The 'Riverbend" is a metaphor for that place where we find solace. It reminds us that even though there may be bends in the pathway that we must carry on, embracing life's challenges; The water keeps moving and so shall we too. This piece was written to reflect the feelings of gratitude, solitude, nostalgia, calmness and understanding, and finding those things wherever we find comfort.

There is a place I love and know-
Down to the river I will go.
All of the lessons that we learn
when the tide turns.
Take me to the Riverbend,
take me where the troubles end,
take me to the place where I belong.
Take me to the Northern star,
take me where the memories are,
take me where the waters sing their song.
Take me to the Riverbend, my friend.
Out of the ashes and into light.
There is a new day after night.
Reaching for something unknown
to call my own.
Run like the river-
the ever-changing,
always flowing,
never slowing, river.
