Shivam's poem is below.

SAVE WATER

Earth is made of water,
only planet to have water.

Our body is made of water,
all food is made of water.

To live we need water,
animals, plants and trees need water.

Now, water is in danger.

If water is in danger,
Earth is in danger,
our lives are in danger,
all are in danger.

We need to save water,
to save our planet - save water,
to save our lives - save water,
to save all - save water.

Earth gets life from water,
all get life from water.

To save Earth,
give life to water.

To save life on Earth,
give life to water.
