this holiday...

as we celebrate this holiday,
this day of independence,
as we remember,
and are thankful
for our freedom,
the continued grace we live under,

as we barbecue,
go to the pool,
mow our green grass,
water our plants,
our lawns,

might we remember,
we are also blessed
with water.

fresh, clean, life giving water.

we so often take it for granted.

this holiday,
everyday,
might we remember,
and give.

give water.
give life.
