You all know River comes from a long distance non-stop

Dense Forest, Rocks can not block or stop its flow

River forms a chord of the Mother Earth

River shines under Sun light and remains cool under the Moon

River flows through a path called Course and ends in a Mouth {s}

Major World Rivers include The Amazon. The Ganges, The Mississippi, 

The Nile , The Indus - all stand beyond description

The land is fertile -  thanks to the copious water from the Rivers

The Holy rivers like Ganges, Godavari, Cauvery, Narmada, Saraswathy

Sindhu, Brahmaputra are worshiped as Goddesses

A dip in the Sacred waters mitigates the sins of doers

Holy Rivers glorify the cities where they flow

Rivers recognize their voices when they pour heavily as water-falls

Rivers do not show distinction of different sects of mankind
Where there is no River deserts come to stay

People undertaking expeditions in deserts 

Eagerly look for oasis to quench their thirst

Rain is the daughter of the River

River feels the thrill and chill when rain waters fall upon its lap

The Waves are the arms of a River

A river dances due to the rise and fall of the waves

The waves complete singing as it reaches the shores of the mother

The Shores guard the River for Ever

Rivers are blessed by Sun, Light and Wind

River stands as a witness for Time and its run

Men May Come and Men May Go

But Rivers Go On For Ever
