Blue Nile and me

On the banks 

of the blue Nile

                     had a chance 

                     to live for a while

Seeing me there 

she had a smile

                    I too replied her

                    in my style

Sitting on the banks 

I had a dream

                    I too am a part of 

                    her blue stream

Singing 

of that lovely Breeze

I more felt warm 

and at ease

                   Oh those charming 

                   yatchs and fishes

It all became 

as was in the wishes

                   Now I think 

                   after so long

I left it there 

is utterly wrong

                   can't express how much 

                   I love you 'Nile'

You are in my heart 

leaving all the agile

                  May I wish 

                  to fly to the scene

For your perenial 

lively mean

For your perenial lively mean
