Not to wink
LovelyRiver's bank scene
Big trees around are also seen
But where is bank?
There has to be journey end
I am eager to see friends
But whom do I approach and thank
River is medium
Water flowed is maximum
“Still bank is far” I think
Boat is old
To take journey around world
I fear it may sink
Fear not from danger
Act as good manager
Allow eyes not to wink
