Living Down Stream

in the same water
the same journey
living down stream
from the ones gone before us
those who believed
drinking the living waters
those who cared enough
to share the same with us
living down stream
yet above some others
those who will follow
downstream from us
we must too share
offering the water
not ours to keep
filling only our buckets
our silos, our garners
we are to share
to offer the same water
to give to others
that none would be thirsty
to offer to them
the same living water
