Kansas

 

 

Kansas is a hot dry land

Not much water anywhere

It is like a barren well

That once held the flow of life

But now is smothered in dust.

 

Once life poured through this land

Once water flowed freely in its wells

Once a lush green glow was Kansas

Now there is not much hope

All is dried, fried and dust

 

When life has been drained away

Can it ever return to begin again?

Fortunately yes is the answer

For life can begin as though

Life had never gone away.

 

One drop of water can bring life

One breath of fresh clean air gives hope

Hope is what allows life to continue

Even after the water is gone

Still, water is what brings life
