i drink water when i am thirsty,
and so do you.
i wash my face with water,
and so do you.
my plant needs water to grow
and so does yours.
i sweat when i am under the bright mr sun,
and so do you.
and when i’m sad, i let my sadness leave me through my tears,
and so do you.
mother earth is 70% water,
and so are we.
we are all different,
and the same too.
