Egyptian Thoughts

I sometimes think of traveling to a mysterious distant land To Cairo and the River Nile and walk on Egyptian sand The Ismalia Folklore Festival brings together many nations In the land so aptly called The Land of Civilizations I ask for Wadjet to protect me as I see all that I can At night, Nut puts on a show that could not be produced by man I see the children playing with hearts so full of love Thanking Hathor for the blessings that were sent from far above Osiris please stay away as I'm not ready yet I need to change my life as I too long have followed Set Egyptian thoughts come and that's when this old sailor cries As I remember a beautiful woman with dark Egyptian eyes I pray to Anuket to once again see the River Nile And to Isis that she would return the magic for a while The mystery and the culture are only part of what you'll find I smile to myself as Egyptian thoughts cross my mind.
