WATER DROP

How long does a drop last? An eternity or dry up fast? Wiped away by a towel Or drank away with a swallow Just a little drop of wet Not in the ocean yet But when they meet They splash and crash As they greet Deep down in the sea In and out of gills So many wonders to see Swooshing about with thrills Washed up ashore When heat begins to attack Evaporate and grow more Riding on a clouds back How long will that cloud last? Growing big and vast Until temperature cools And gravity rules So down came that water drop Into a river with a flop Flowing fast and splashing Into a pool savagely thrashing Down a pipe, in fact Coming out of a tap Have you ever just sat Thinking time has passed How long does that drop last North and south snowy mass Frozen in time forever trapped Part of a larger ice cap
