Conserve
By Melanie Age 11

Water’s great and water’s cool,
It keeps you hydrated and fills your pool.

It gives you electricity and waters your crop,
It gives you clean laundry and wets your mop.

It’s all of that and other things too,
So I’m saying this from me to you.

Keep water clean like something you had to borrow,
Or there won’t be clean water for anyone tomorrow.

Water makes the world go round,
From the top of the sky to the end of the ground.

So conserve all water and you will see,
What a great place the world can be!
