Like The Nile

I want to be like the Nile River

I want to be the father of flows

I want to be able to be stress free and relieve

The stressors of others by providing

Because it comes naturally

I want to be like the Nile River

Withstanding every test of time

Flooded with blessings

Rippling through countries

Giving and receiving all at the same time

I want to be like the Nile River

Revered and respected

Preserved and praised

A way for others to take

As I give direction

I want to be like the Nile River

Timeless… shameless… courageous

Full of life and tranquility

Defining deeper meanings

Just by being me

I want to be like the Nile River.
