Book Details
FROM CLOUDS TO CAVES
Water is everywhere on earth—in rivers, lakes and oceans, but also underground, in air, crystals, rocks, plants, animals—and people! Hydrie has had two billion years to see many changes in the earth—and to help it change. But Hydrie doesn’t change. In his most recent home in a glacier, he is just like he was two billion years ago, looking forward to a few more eons on earth.
A molecule of water doesn’t have a son or daughter
And it cannot talk or walk like you and I
But it doesn’t change a bit And it doesn’t age a whit
As the eons and the centuries go by.
