Water Permeates Earth Life Interactions Poem by Terence George Craddock

water flowing in mountains streams creeks rivers
water trickling racing to fill ponds lakes oceans
water mist breath allowing myriad life possibilities
water small droplets of life potential diverse forms

without water there would be no magnificient earth life swarms
vast oceans filling teeming brimming with species complexities
water vast percentages of cells that comprise all living organisms
water sustaining growth creating life web unique ecosystems

food all food fresh has reserves of water bound within
water is our life liquid requirement most sustaining thing
have you not heard that humans can go without food longer
than without prime life requirement fresh clean running water?

news flash without water all life would die
realize without water we could not even cry
water an important part of vibrant healthy cells
water cool sweet waits flavours community wells

water circulates in plants to carry distribute nutrients
water circulates in people to oxygenate blood energies
water needed by dependent earth life cycles to survive
water without elixir of life water earth will not be alive
