Poem: The River that Remembers
From ancient ice your waters sing,
A silver thread of endless spring.
You cradle valleys, fields, and trees,
And whisper softly through the breeze.
You feed the trout, the land, the soul,
A timeless stream that makes us whole.
Where careful hands and nature meet,
The mountain's generous heart still beats
Long may your crystal currents run,
Reflecting sky and rising sun.
Nyanjara, guardian strong and free,
A priceless gift for eternal bliss.
