Water, Water Everywhere ~

in a
swamp

in a

pond

in a
lake

in a

river

in a
bottle

when the well's dry

we know the worth of water

Benjamin Franklin

The Elixir ~

health

happiness

prosperity

cries

the

flim flam man

as

he greedily grasps

the

price

extracted

for

a bottle

of

empty promises

Jesus

quietly proffers

the

cup of living water

paid

for in full

by

Him
