Water As a Gift to Life
 
Water as a ritual symbol of baptism, 
A man plunges into the river, vows to the priest to leave his old habits 
And emerges sanctified with a prayer 
Water as the source of life, 
The first morning bath and salutation to the Sun, 
The first glass of water as the most precious drink, 
And the last meeting with ritual water when a person dies, 
He leaves bathed to return to the beginning of this story... 
A soul is born into a new body, 
While the doctor after the birth of the mother bathes the child 
And congratulates the mother who drinks a glass of water with a smile on her face. 

Lesson 

Everything in life is like a wheel of fortune and misfortune. 
Everything changes and is not permanent, our inner attitude is important, 
That it is a show for our eyes, 
A test for the mind and heart 
And above all a great lesson.
