The Journey of a Single Drop

A single drop of rain, Falling from the sky, Splashes on the ground, And leaves a little mark. It joins with droplets of water, Forming a puddle, That glistens in the light, Of the early morning sun. The puddle absorbs more rain, Getting bigger and deeper, Until it pools up in a ditch, And becomes a small stream. The stream flows onward, Gathering more water as it goes, On its journey to the sea.
