Waterfall

Water cascading off a mountain cliff
Plunging to the waiting ocean below
Eons of time eroding the ragged edges
A majestic waterfall to be admired by all.

Forever changing the shape of the land
Thinking, knowing it will never end
As long as we keep our earth intact
For the generations who follow us.

We are the caretakers of our place in time
As were the generations long before
Have you ever thought to thank them
For the gift they left behind?
