The Love of Water

It is in ponds, streams and rivers,
And also in lakes and oceans.
Sometimes it stands still,
But mostly it's in motion.

From the air, it will say hello,
From a dreary sky,
Showering you with love.
No longer you'll be dry!

Nothing is more refreshing
Than a glass of this wonderful water;
Even without sugar, lemon, ice and bubbles,
For which you'd have to order.

Waterslides and kayaking,
With water rolling over rocks,
Sometimes it's safe to engage,
Other times it's with feisty crocs!

The waves stir up emotion.
They impress us with their power.
Mighty, majestic and strong,
Their crash causes a foamy shower.

Water is also relaxing.
Think of that warm soak in the bath...
Water is used in playtime, for fun,
Squirting water at your friends - then you laugh!

Water is a force to be reckoned with -
Poetry in motion, as it were!
Its exotic reflection of the sky above,
One cannot help but stare!

Water can transform
Into a solid or a gas...
Let's top up our water vessels.
To water raise a glass!

This is a wonderful poem, a collaboration of wo poets that know the importance of water. Pity no one read these lines.
