The Scent of Water

The hope of a plant is water And the hope of the heart is love A heart without love will falter As will a tree if no rain falls from above Perhaps lonely hearts can detect love's scent As the tree detects the scent of water Both these gifts are heaven sent To be treasured now and ever after By water we are baptized As we become born again Heaven's hope is the cherishes prize Where love forever reigns
