Out Of Water Water equals life… From it all living things came… It means survival… Without it death invades cells… Dried, they return to ashes. No water…please God, We pray this can never be… Safeguard it for us… Water, your dear miracle… More precious than liquid gold. © Sandra M.

I so agree with your words in this beautiful poem Sandra. Water is life and we should protect it and keep it pure to keep ourselves well. It is our most precious resource on this earth. That is why I love and write about the rain often and love to read poems about refreshing rain. I hope to see this as a winner Sandra. Aloha, Connie

Thank you so much, Jan. Yes, I heard that term years ago and it stuck with me to describe something that cannot be replaced. Hugs, Sandra
