             WATER
       By ... Steve Lucky

Why is a simple substance like water
So vitally important to our well being?
What secrets does it hold
In its drops, puddles, springs, lakes, and oceans?
Not enough water and we die of dehydration.
Too much water and we suffocate.
It gives us life, can take our life,
And keeps us going in between,
Refreshing us when exhausted,
Cleansing us when dirty,
And cheering us up when depressed.
Rains come and floods kill,
But without water we can not survive.
Every day we need a certain amount of water.
However, that does not replace our greater need
For another simple substance, air.
