May the Water Flow (For the People of the Azawak)
In searching for something new to post about Water related
issues I came upon this video on You Tube...after reading
about this project I thought I'd share it.
I've been walking for miles and miles
Along this dusty road beneath a blazing sky
Searching for sustenance
So our children will not die.
I've been waiting for years and years
in this desert for some kind of hope
Praying to the Gods above
That our people can have a fertile home.
May the water flow all over our land
May the children smile again
May the Gods above answer all our prayers
And may the world begin to care
There is so much we have to teach
But love is just outside our reach
There is so much we want to learn
But first this chapter has to turn.
Now children from a distant land
Have helped us dig beneath the sand
Water can now flow to us
And to our animals from the Well of Love.
With new friendships and new strength
Our women can work alongside our men
Start anew to use our tools
Build new roads, home and schools.
May the water flow all over our land
May the children smile again
May the Gods above answer all our prayers
And may the world begin to care
There is so much we have to teach
But love is just outside our reach
There is so much we want to learn
But first this chapter has to turn.
I had a dream that children of all races
Were dancing in the rain
And the deserts of the world
Were filled with flowers and with grain.
And I know that the wisdom of all the ancient ones will guide our way
Brothers and sisters hand in hand
to build a greener day.
May the water flow all over our land
May the children smile again
May the Gods above answer all our prayers
And may the world begin to care
There is so much we have to teach
But love is just outside our reach
There is so much we want to learn
But first this chapter has to turn.

You always find something so lovely and meaningful. I can't tell you how many of your posts I have saved on "My favorites."

I agree with Mary, you have given us something lovely and useful, reminding us we are not alone.
As Mother Teresa said, we belong to each other.
Thank you kindred friend.
much love, magnolia
Water, something we take for granted is essential for life. It brings joy to see the smiling faces of the people of Africa, who have endured far too much pain.
Such a loving post this is...
hugs and blessings

It's difficult for me to imagine a life without proper water supply - having lived near ponds, lakes and the ocean all my life...I'm lucky! I know not to take it for granted and I try to stop every day and mindfully thank God for the many blessings I have for I know that other people are not that fortunate.
It's important to remember and give thanks every day!
Wishing you a happy and healthy Sunday evening, my friend ;-)
With Love,
Doris, Gizzy (and the kitty cats outside)
p.s. I'm going to try to have them spayed before I move...there's a program I'm checking out and hopefully they can help me, one cat at a time!
yes, may waters flow in just the right amount. i can not imagine life without water, it is precious!
