I wonder northward
I hear many different languages
I see 11 different countries
I want to bring life to all when the season is dry
I pretend to flow in the wrong direction
I feel powerful and strong because I'm the largest river in the world.
I touch many different types of wild life, fish, hippopotamuses, many species of snakes, reptiles and much more
I worry because I hold many deadly poisonous and terrifying creatures that I should not be used to swim in.
I understand everything as I have witnessed centuries of life on earth and I have been here since the beginning of time or so it may seem.
I say respect me, nurture me and take care of me as I am the bringer of water which sustains all life in my path as I have done for a great many centuries.
I dream of lush gardens and a garden of Eden
I try to be the giver of life but in my body lies many deadly creatures which take life.
I hope I will always be the giver of life through my body of water that flows longer than anyother body of water of my type.
I am the Nile river!
