Water To Quench My Thirst

In Summer I must be sated
Or my health will be ill-fated
I long for rain from a cloudburst
Only water will quench my thirst

To satisfy my need to slake
A drink of water, I'll partake
It's the liquid I think of first
Only water will quench my thirst

I swim in rivers when I dream,
where currents carry me downstream
In cool rapids I am immersed
Only water will quench my thirst

A vital elixir of life
I'm thankful water is so rife
for without it, death is accursed
Only water will quench my thirst

Rico Leffanta Date: 8/6/2022 11:35:00 AM Lucky was I to be raised where there was only water to drink! Children raised on soda pop will suffer from it for the rest of their life! Enjoyed, Jenna! Aloha! Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 8/6/2022 11:48:00 AM Thanks, Rico. When I was younger, a drink from the garden hose was the best. Now, it has to be bottled for some.

Tom Cunningham Date: 8/6/2022 10:30:00 AM We are so lucky that we can just turn on the tap and it's there and it's hard to believe that in this day and age many don't have that luxury. Nothing beats it on a hot and humid day. Best of luck Jenna and hope your weekend is going well. Tom Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 8/6/2022 11:47:00 AM We take many things for granted, Tom. Thanks for the wish of luck. It's a great weekend with family visiting from everywhere! Enjoy your weekend.
