Sing a Song To a Stream of Water

Sing a song to a stream of water,
From a shower, a river, a reflection at night;
Feel it rolling in the form of tears,
Or in the bath, where you sing out of sight.

After a picnic with potato salad, 
Swing your bare feet in the lake’s foamy edge,
Watch the joy young children derive
From drawing water pictures with a pencil etch.

Sing of its cool ripples and harmonies,
Splashing little frogs at twilight play.
Sing to a stream of water,
From a shower, a river, a reflection at night.

I am respectful of the sea as it holds me in awe, but walking by a river is soothing. We have a cascading water feature in or garden, and love sitting under our gazebo, reading a book, and listening to to it rippling, spilling and cascading. Love you poem SW, as I too love water. Hugs, Jennifer.
