I feel the heat hit my skin

Rays of sunshine kiss the ground

I reach for a bottle of water,

Freezing cold.


Refreshed from the heat

I close the condensated bottle

knowing that I will always have water.

Taken for granted.


A little boy feels the heat hit his skin

Breathes heavily from dehydration

He walks for miles to find water.

keeps walking.


Finally reaches his destination.

Fills a heavy bucket

Knowing that is all he has,

In need.

Water, a simple thing, taken for granted everyday. We don't realize how fortunate we actually are.
