Water

Earth unique with Water
In solid, in liquid and in gas, water
water, what a matter?
without it, one would surely wither
Refreshing and quenching, life giver
Its water
So pristine and pure,
Restoring and healing, it’s a cure
In the streams, out in the sea
as vapor, as ice, its water see?
It glitters like a mirror,
either bigger or smaller its clearer
It removes dirt,
and quenches thirst
springs life where it flows,
like a lamp that glows
way up in the mountains,
where water fountains
Little trickles
Little dribbles,
It drips
And it drops
Up high it chooses,
up the misty bushes,
up high in the clouds,
water thunders so loud
A drip at a time, it splashes
like a wood gradually burns to ashes
So little it gathers
so massive it matters
Way down the low land
it runs, slowly
yet so mightily
Heaven cries, it rains
Earth rejoices, it gains
Water baths the earth,
as earth gives birth
to fish, trees and birds
Water, what a precious matter
that all enjoys where it gathers
Like a mother, it prepares,
and life giving, it repairs
lacking water, one cannot make
for one to make,
its water it take
water is Mother
Yes it is, it’s only water
Thanks Angra Jimmy, Without water I wouldn't write this one!...

Great Piece.
Water is mother and i like that line.
Water is universally every thing.
Angra Philip great one.
