From your fount spring gushing flows
In the early morning sun dews
And the cool setting of dusk
Even in the heat of high noon
You are quite literally the town pump!
You hydrate every resident flower, plant and tree
And douse the vast forests of grass and shrub
Every backyard creature, winged and terrestrial, finds relief in your pools
When cruel drought strikes
And the heavens refuse to unlock their rain clouds
You quench the thirst of every blooming and breathing thing
Roots run deep because of your merciful soakings
Your generous showers bring blessings to those on whom they fall
You are a benevolent neighbor, Mr. Green Garden Hose
