The Magic of Water

Water, water, everywhere,

 In the ocean, lakes, and air.

Drops of rain and rivers flow,

 In a cycle, to and fro.

Splish, splash, in a puddle small,

 Hear the raindrops gently fall.

Quenching thirst for every creature, 

Water is a precious feature.

Reflecting skies in a mirror clear,

A source of life, so pure, so dear.

Nature's gift, both near and far,

Water, you're the real superstar!
