Water

WATER
Water, o water!
So necessary you are
That
A world without you
is lifeless
As ancient as you are
You are never tired
Of our demands
You are the source of life.
Father of all nutrients
The number one universal solvent
So useful you are
Useful in the kitchen
Useful in the bathroom
Where not
Provider of warmth
You are the source of life
