    The Leak

    The Leak
     
    I went out to my water pond one day
    To relax and pass some time away
    As I approached I discovered a leak
    From the pond I longed to seek
     
    So in a haste I went on a journey
    Time was a wasting and I had to hurry
    Poor fish I thought, don’t want them to freak
    I’ll find the source of that troublesome leak
     
    With my hands in the water I searched and sought
    And as I did I pondered the thought
    About the fish in the pond of what they must think
    As my hand felt around in that over sized sink
     
    For I am certain I heard a cry
    From the little fish whom I call Small Fry
    What is that thing in the water YIKES!!
    It has moving tentacles, and causes me a fright
     
    Don’t be alarmed said the big fish named hank
    It’s just helping, it’s trying to fix our tank
    That thing with the tentacles is a hand you see
    It’s going to fix this troublesome leak for you and me
     
    I continued to listen as I my hand found the trouble
    And I fixed the bad spot right there on the double
    I learned that day to not be afraid of talking fish
    As I dipped my hand in their colossal water dish
     
    And the moral of this story is….
     
    There have been many hands in this world that have cared
    They have dove in and gotten wet without regret or despair
    So if you have a problem and there’s an answer you seek
    Don’t be afraid to get wet and find the source of the leak

    Even though there have been frustrating times in owning water ponds they have helped me to learn to have patience and shown me that the efforts can and will pay off in the rewards of the beauty and nature that they have provided. Glad you like this God Bless BikemanRJ

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
