Water
Water
A priceless resource
Some savor it
Some waste it
Some have great gratitude for it
Others think they have a limitless supply
Some would do anything for just a drop
Some throw away gallons like dirt
We all have enough to quench everyone’s thirst
But how can you make a difference
How can you get your water to that family in Africa
Thousands of miles away
How can make a change when the world of struggle and pain
is so far away from you?
When you can just walk to that facet or water fountain or faucet
a few steps away
Then go to the city
Take a walk
See who you can find who would love that drop of water
That person who would do anything for
the gallons of water you throw away
See your community
The person right next to you may need water
Or any other resource
That you treat like it has an endless supply
That person who would beg for a few drops of water
That you have the ability to help
That if you help
You can think
What if everyone helped just one person
Millions of tiny scratches
Making a huge dent
In hunger
In poverty
In droughts
In the world’s problems
By just helping one person
