WATER BABIES, A BRIEF HISTORY
Burst into life like mountain streams
Weaned and nurtured by natures schemes
Awareness now of sibling flows
Tributaries join. Knowledge grows
Adolescence erupts in rebellious acts
Noisy, bubbling white cataracts
Waters calm, the future unfolds
Use the currents to achieve your goals
Maturity affords a little less doubt
Or the dry penury following a drought
A period now with a satisfied glow
Time to relax and go with the flow
Sad memories aside, a time to give thanks
Remember that time you burst your banks?
Aimless meandering towards the end
Continuity lacking, just bend after bend
Life seems pointless.....
Then the waters break free
And join in forever with the welcoming sea
