Water, is taught by thirst. Land -- by the Oceans passed. Transport -- by throe -- Peace -- by its battles told -- Love, by Memorial Mold -- Birds, by the Snow.

This poem really touched me, i lost someone who was really close to me and i didnt realize how much i needed her and loved her until she was gone! victoria from United States Comment 20 of 21, added on June 2nd, 2008 at 9:03 AM. Water flows freely through the tap, but it means so little until it dries up. When I am thirsty I long for something that means so little to me. I exist in a peaceful society, but I don't wake with gratitude everyday because I have not experienced the lack of peace first hand. I think we should all stop and look around us and learn to be grateful for those things that are invisible to us until they are gone.
