When the Well Runs Dry

by Ms. TKay - Cancer

People be happy as hell
When there's water in the well

Taking for granted the importance of the water
Drinking very little, spilling and wasting it by the quaters

Never stopping at least once to think that one day
All the water could be gone
Leaving the well dusty and dry as a bone

So they continue to go about their destructive ways
Not noticing the water is drying up phase by phase

Never even bothering to go to the well to take a look down
Never believing the sight would make one frown

Then all of a sudden, one day, you're so thirsty
You just need a few sips
You want the water so bad, you can taste it on your lips

So you make your way over to the well
And wonder where the water is 
Cause the well is dry as all hell

Never bothered, until it was too late to ask why
Or when in the hell did the well run dry

You didn't have your priorities in order
You whould have been cherishing the importance of the water

My, how people miss the water when the well run dry!!!

Reason for writing:

    Water represent anything in our life that's important - relationships, family, friends, your job, your money, everything - cherish it and don't take it for granted.  Keep your priorities in order.  Just think if we didn't have water....
