A Life Basis: Water

In the whispers of streams, and the roar of the tide,

Lies the essence of life, where waters abide.

Water, the elixir, sustains all in its flow,

A precious resource, in its ebb and its glow.

*

For humans and creatures, from mountain to sea,

Water is vital, a necessity free.

It quenches our thirst, nourishes the land,

In its gentle touch, we firmly stand.

*

Yet in our midst, a tale unfolds,

Of water used recklessly, its value untold.

Excessive consumption, heedless waste,

Threatens the balance, with hasty haste.

*

From showers to lawns, and faucets that leak,

Water slips through our fingers, so meek.

In pools of indulgence, and fountains grand,

We squander this gift, at our own hand.

*

But wisdom beckons, a lesson to learn,

In stewardship of water, it's our turn.

To cherish each drop, with mindful care,

And tread lightly, with reverence rare.

*

From fixing leaks, to shorter showers,

Every action, in conservation empowers.

Reuse, recycle, let no drop be lost,

For in water's preservation, lies our utmost cost.

*

So let's pledge today, to use water wise,

In its abundance, not take for granted, but prize.

For in its flow, in its shimmering grace,

Lies the heartbeat of life, in this precious space.
