The beauty of water
I sit beside the fountain bright,
It sparkles in the morning light.
The water splashes as it falls,
Its gentle sound is heard by all.
The cool mist brushes on my face,
I sit and relax in this place.
I watch the water rise and fall,
And listen to its lovely call.
The sunlight dances on the stream,
It almost looks just like a dream.
I feel so calm while sitting here,
The water’s sound is nice to hear.
