#LetterToRiver: Kabul River by Shahir Ahmad Safi - A Poetic Journey

Dear Kabul River,

Hope you're doing well, just like always. I wanted to drop you a note to say a big thanks. You've been a real gem in our lives, and I appreciate you more than words can say.

Growing up, you've been there for all the good stuff – kids playing, families chatting, and just life happening. You're not just water; you're like a buddy who's been by our side, giving without asking for anything back. Your water keeps us going, helps our crops, and supports life around us. You've been a rock, a comfort in tough times, showing the strength of the folks living along your banks.

Your beauty, whether it's the sunny days or the calm nights, always lifts our spirits. Kabul River, you're not just a spot on the map; you're part of who we are and the heart of our crew.

In a world that sometimes feels chaotic, you are a reminder of the simple, enduring beauty of nature. Your presence teaches us the importance of gratitude and respect for the gifts that Mother Earth provides.

So, thanks a bunch. Thanks for being there through thick and thin, for being the background of our days, and for being the canvas of our stories. In this crazy world, you're a reminder of the simple, amazing side of nature. You teach us to be thankful for what Mother Earth gives us.

I promise to look out for you, Kabul River, so the next bunch can feel the same connection we do. May your waters keep flowing, carrying our shared past and the dream of a lasting future.

With loads of thanks,
Shahir Ahmad Safi
