Oh! How I Wish! Poem by gnrao rao

All over India,
You come from Mountains,
You are Rain-fed,
Or snow fed,
We call you Perennial,
Os Seasonal.
The snow fed ones
are full all the days,
But rain-fed ones
Some months, years empty,
Making the farmers and all
Suffer.
When you overflow and
Reach the brims of the
banks, we are all happy.
My heart cries,
When I find no water
In you, My dear river.
You are the benefactor
For all.
You come from Dams,
Lakes and canals.
But some say
You belong to them,
Or to their state.
Whether you are
snow=fed or Rain-fed,
you are the life giver
for all.
We must know how to
Safeguard you,
Keeping you pure from
Any pollution.
