Life Gives - Life Takes

by @AliceInWonderland

A single drop can quench the thirst of a man long done with yelling. A single bucket can scald the skin of a woman bathing with coals. A single ocean can drown the dreams of a child left without a boat. A single bottle can rob the pockets of a man left without a home.
