The Many Faces of Water
Water has so many faces.
It is essential to life.
It cuts off the breath in an instant.
It makes things clean with a little soap of course.
It is the source of sickness.
It is the crashing thunderous surf.
It is the bubbling brook.
It is the cradle for colorful fish.
It is the living room for great big whales.
It comes in many shades of blue, green and grey.
It is soothing, especially in the tub.
It is raging as the flood surges.
It is a serene lake, a stagnant pond or a vast ocean.
It is steaming hot in the mug.
It is frigid cold in a glacier stream.
It is easy for some to get by twisting a tap.
It is hard for others who trudge along dusty paths.
It is a drip.
It is a stream.
It is a gush.
It is contained.
It is limitless.
It is refreshing.
It is oppressing.
It is water.
Always be grateful.

Water is cool. Sometimes
Thom,
That is the message I wanted to get across - the very opposites. In doing this I find water actually quite mysterious - sometime I will have to do more research on it. It would be interesting to see all what the Bible has to say about it. Obviously it is quite important - as it was one of the first things to be created by God.
