Before the sun climbs the sky,Before voices fill the air,Before you give, before you goTake water. Let it flow.A single sip,Cool as morning dew,Soft as the hush before dawn,Strong as the ocean’s pull.Water knows no rush,Yet carves mountains with time.It doesn’t shout,But it sustains all life.Drink first —To soothe the bones,To clear the thoughts,To calm the storm inside.Wash first —To begin again,To rinse regret,To soften yesterday’s edges.Honor water —The quiet ritual,The body’s prayer,The earth’s pure offering.In a world that demands more,Water asks nothing —Only to be received.And in return,It restores.So remember,Before the coffee, the news, the noise,Before movement,Before words —Water first. Always.—
