A smile shines upon a face Cracked and parched by the sun Blistered feet trek in the heat Carrying water for everyone. Three hours daily they walk To a watering hole ***** and crude Yet still he smiles having no choice But to bring water to cook food. Foreigners arrive to lay new pipes Hope lies now on a wrinkled face Water gushes from a shiny tap Drenching life into a dismal place. Children scream with delight and joy Sadly they have never splashed before Tears well in the foreignerβs eye A shiny tap now means so much more. A new smile shines upon a face Pleased that the work has been done Blistered hands applaud in the heat At long last the children can have fun.
