The Water Drop

THE WATER DROP

A dripping water faucet
Knows not to slow or stop,
But knows that time is going by
and counts it drop by drop.

Yet while the faucet sets there
the drop is free to go...
it ends up in a river
or in a fallen snow.

It may find that it's needed
to give a quenching drink
or help in making bubbles
for dishes in the sink...

And then again, it may be found
playing with your mind
by showing off a rainbow
and helping you unwind;

Or even on a summer day
a person finds it there
within the water that they swim
and summertime will share.

That faucet nor that water drop
can tell what will be done...
some times the drop will find you
and some times you find one.
