JJ Creber - Oakmeadow Ford

Where the towpath meets the river, there's a special place indeed -
Miles away from city life and all its endless greed.
Where the day is never troubled by the rush hour and the clock
And the only sign of traffic is a boat within the lock.

And when the sun decides to shine and no-one else is near
And Mother Nature's whisper is the only thing you hear,
When half an hour of peace and quiet could be all you need,
The towpath meets the river at a special place, indeed.
