RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: RIVER SERIES
The Yangtze
The longest river in Asia
Among the longest on the planet earth
As the birthplace of their civilization
The Chinese value its worth
The Yangtze gives and the Yangtze takes
Its yellow waters are a blessing
It is known for frequent flooding
Yet the people have learned its lessons
Some call it the river of sorrow
For it has claimed a great many lives
Yet the people give their humble thanks
For with the river all wildlife thrives
