Earth and Water

I am filled with life-giving properties. Without these minerals, life would not exist. I am a natural depository for gold and silver. I am hard; I am soft; I am rough; I am smooth. I am continents, oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes. I am hot; I am cold; I am old; I am EARTH. Like humans, I consist of many parts, but The most visible components are land and water. The moon revolves around me, and if the moon were closer to me, I would freeze. I revolve around the sun, and if I were closer to the sun, I would burn up. I am not complete without WATER. Actually, I consist mostly of WATER. I and WATER have learned to get along. Like humans, we must live together or die apart. When humans drop a seed or plant inside of me, If they are to live, grow, and thrive, I call upon WATER to help me. Otherwise, both the plant and seed would die.

Congratulations on your win in my contest. What I like about this is that you took my contest in a very literal way. That matches how I think often, in literal terms that is.
