THE JEWEL OF THE NILE

GREAT ADVENTURES JOURNALED
QUEST'S FOR HEARTS DESIRE
SEEKING WEALTH BEYOND CONCEIVING
THE JEWEL OF THE NILE

IT'S LEGEND AS OLD AS MAN
FABLED IN TALES OF YORE
SEEKERS TRAIL TO RUIN
OR GLORY IN IT'S GLOW

A JEWEL LIKE NO OTHER
EXQUISITE IN EVERY WAY
BEAUTY BEYOND DISCRIPTION
FIT FOR THE CROWN'S OF KINGS

DAYS CAN TURN TO YEARS
FINALY THE JEWEL IS FOUND
HOLD IT TO THE LIGHT
PROUDLY SHOWN AROUND

KEEP IT SAFE AND SHELTERED
FEED UPON IT'S WARMTH
SHARE NOT IT'S GOLDEN GIFT'S
EXCEPT TO NATIVITY SPAWNED

PLACED IN POSITION ROYAL
FIRST OF ALL YOU OWN
RESPECT IT FOR ALL IT GIVES
STRENGTH IS IT'S GIFT

SHOUT ITS NAME
LET THE HOARD HEAR IT CLEAR
YOUR HEARTS DESRE DISCOVERED
THE JEWEL OF THE NILE

To Jackie...My Jewel of the Nile
