Dear Water

You are

like

my dream

car

on a hot

day

with a 

big

gallon of

water

driving to the

beach

with my 

brother

and my

sister

with my

mom and dad 

all of us

singing.

*** 

A World without Clean Water

is like a shark that has no fins

to swim in the ocean

is like chicken nuggets

with nothing inside them

is like no flowers growing

from the ground because the water is bad

is like clouds were never made

because of the water.

But a world with clean water

would be like flowers that are beautiful and sunny.

Why can’t we drink the water from our fountains at school?

Why can’t we eat the fish from the ocean? 

*** 

I Am Water

I praise the water that comes out good.

I praise the water that fills my bathtub. 

I praise the cold clean water on a hot summer day.

I praise the water so I can swim in my pool.

Respect me and I will make you feel good.
