I live my life like water
For water never lingers
And though it sustains...
It will slip through your fingers
The tiniest drop hardly felt on your lips
In vaster amounts will support many ships
I live in and around you, unseen in the air
But can be called on to revive, when you all but despair
Water does not resist, instead it just flows
Moving with ease wherever it goes
When you plunge your hand into it, it will merely surround you
It is not a solid wall, that will stop or confound you.
But water always goes wherever it may
and nothing you can do will ever make it stay
Water is patient, it will wear away stone
Remember this, my friend, when you feel all alone
For you are mostly water, so when faced with dead ends
Go round them or over them, for water always transcends
I'll live my life like water, until my dying breath
"He wrote his name on water" will be my epitaph.
