The Water's Life



Oh,look at the water running down the hill!
"How did it get there?" asked Little Bill
Down the hill the water flows,
Into the river then it goes,
Then slowly this water goes up in the sky,
"Why?" Little Bill wonders,"Why?"
It goes up there to form a cloud,
Boy, believe me they feel very proud,
Later that day,down it pours,
With lots of lightning and loud roars,
It can also come down as hail,sleet,or snow,
But which one it'll be,we'll never know,
Onto the hill is where it's going to land,
Hey,isn't where it all began!
