Power of Water

"Water is the gift of life, That makes things grow just right So full of energy and power, Providing light to every home and tower By itself it can cleanse, Dirt or an original sin Sometimes we find ourselves in hot water, By creating some kind of bother Occasionally we are on thin ice, For behavior not so nice I prefer smooth still water, Like a heartfelt moment that matters Or a misty rain that falls, Beaconing me with its call To witness the nourishment it brings, To every plant, tree or living thing Including me , With a buoyancy That keeps my head above water, And a confidence I won’t falter Because the water in the river accepts, My burdens without regret Floating them away, So I am free, today"
