Tumbling waters boulder broke
Pause where a willow dips,
Laving her leafy tips.
Rushing current's splashing stroke
Swirls in a symphony,
Glides o'er a fallen tree,
Wearied waters torrent tried
Rest in the shadows cool,
Ripple the lillied pool.
Rolling rainbow's painted side
Ruffles the resting stream,
Troubles her wistful dream.
Thomas and Peter believed in themselves despite their mistakes, and became saints.
