Water

So soft, so hard, so magic, so true,
So sweet, so salty, maybe some chlorine too?
These are some of the things that make you!

You don’t know how it happened,
Or when it became a start.
We only know it is a part of our lives from start to finish
Water can do anything for you.

Drink it, play with it, and swim in it.
Dams, pools, beaches and lakes!
It is just the magical ingredient
That is helping us with our life time.

Just think, what if we didn’t have water?
What would oceans be?
How would fish live?
And not just that……
How would we live?
