H20
As dawn breaks,
She can no longer wait.
The thirst is to great,
To quench her palate.
A journey she takes
10 miles straight.
Thru darkness she goes,
A bucket she throws
On top of her head.
Wild animals she dreads
Strangers lurking ahead.
Sweat covers her face,
but with each step., she takes
A love of family awaits,
Left behind at her place.
An old rusty pipe
Just in clear sight
A cloudy stream of
Water. Opens to her delight.
Natural resources....
