How We Welcome Thee

The falling rain is heaven-sent
from heavy clouds- its deluge meant
to quench the earth, each leaf, and tree!
Oh water, how we welcome thee.

From bubbling streams to lakes and seas
you bolster life to live with ease.
Immersed- our fish with gills, breathe free!
Oh water, how we welcome thee.

With you, we bathe, relax and swim;
those joys are welcomed at our whim!
Wrapped in your liquid, soothed, carefree-
Oh water, how we welcome thee.

We know you as a staff of life- 
along with bread to keep us rife.
Our bodies, one-half water, be!
Oh water, how we welcome thee.

Hi Sandra. :-) What an excellent kyrielle this is. Yes, I am hoping we will get some rain this afternoon. Good luck in the contest.
