The Water Cycle

The Water Cycle
When I was young
I used to think that water camefromthe kitchen sink.
But now I'm older,and I know,that water comes
from rain and snow.
It stays there, waiting,
in the sky,
in clouds aboveour world so high.
And when it falls,
it flows along,
and splashes outa watery song,
as each raindropis joined by moreand rushes tothe ocean shore,
or to a lake, a brook, a stream,
from which it rises,just like steam.
But while it's down herewhat do you think?
Some DOES go tothe kitchen sink!
