Water is like a double edged sword

A dangerous force both foul and fair

That both takes lives

And gives it

 

Water could come as a horrific monster

A surging wall of pure, unstoppable power

Swallowing any living thing in its path

And leaving only destruction, sorrow and grief in its path

 

Or it could be the liquid of life

The liquid that nothing would be alive without

For if it had not been for water

There would be no life

 

We must fear the frightening power of water

For it is a force of nature that cannot be stopped by man

But we must also see the beauty of this magical liquid

As even though it has taken many lives

It is what started countless others
